    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a total-pressure collector that blocks the adverse effects of secondary electron currents liable to deteriorate the total performance of a mass spectrometer for detecting various types of ion, by directing secondary electrons away from an ion measuring device as used for a dual ion or other ion source. SOLUTION: A mass-spectrometer gas analysis device 1 includes an ion source 16 for producing ions of sample gas in a specified capacity. The first part of the ions produced is recovered and analyzed by an ion analyzer 18, which then determines a partial pressure on selected types of gas in the sample gas. The second part of the ions is recovered by an ion collector 22 on the other side, which then determines a total pressure on the sample gas. The collecting surface of the collector 22 is oriented in relation to incident ion beams for the recovery of ionic currents, and is designed to deflect the substantial part of plural secondary electrons generated by ion collisions as a result of the usage of the collector 22 way below the ionization capacity. The partial pressure is thus determined by the analyzer 18 receiving no secondary electrons.

    Abstract: A sensor, such as a mass spectrometer, capable of detecting the presence of materials in a sampled gas is interconnected with a processing chamber of a vacuum manufacturing tool. The sensor includes a timing circuit which is activated only if certain levels of specific materials are detected. Furthermore, the timer is set to run a predetermined time interval after activation so as to discriminate between known transient processing conditions and the presence of impurities which can greatly influence the manufacturing process. When the timer exceeds the predetermined time duration, an output signal can alert the process operator or automatically shutdown the manufacturing tool.

    Abstract: A releasable anode liner that is fitted within the interior of the anode of an ion source. The cover permits electrons to be projected into the anode wherein any insulating deposits adhere to the interior of the anode liner, thereby increasing the effective life of the anode without premature replacement or repair.

    Abstract: A mass spectrometer gas analyzer includes an ion source 16 for producing ions of a sample gas in a defined ionisation volume 26. An ion analyzer 18 collects and analyzes a first portion of the produced ions to determine a partial pressure for a selected gas species within the sample gas. An oppositely disposed ion collector 22A collects a second portion of the ions to determine a total pressure of the contained gas sample. A collecting surface 21A of the ion collector 22A is positioned relative to the incoming ion beam to allow collection of ion current but the surface is configured such that a substantial portion of a plurality of secondary electrons produced by ion bombardment with the ion collector 22A are deflected away from the ionization volume 26. The partial pressure is thus determined by the ion analyzer 18 without secondary electrons entering the ion analyzer 18.
