What is SIMS?

SIMS can refer to several technologies. One common meaning is Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, an analytical technique used to analyze the composition of solid surfaces and thin films by sputtering the surface of the sample with a focused ion beam and collecting and analyzing the ejected secondary ions. It's used in materials science, geology, and semiconductor industries. Another meaning could refer to Student Information Management Systems, software applications used by schools and educational institutions to manage student data, attendance, grades, and other administrative tasks.
