    Abstract: An ion source that utilizes exited and/or atomic gas injection is disclosed. In an ion beam application, the source gas can be used directly, as it is traditionally supplied. Alternatively or additionally, the source gas can be altered by passing it through a remote plasma source prior to being introduced to the ion source chamber. This can be used to create excited neutrals, heavy ions, metastable molecules or multiply charged ions. In another embodiment, multiple gasses are used, where one or more of the gasses are passed through a remote plasma generator. In certain embodiments, the gasses are combined in a single plasma generator before being supplied to the ion source chamber. In plasma immersion applications, plasma is injected into the process chamber through one or more additional gas injection locations. These injection locations allow the influx of additional plasma, produced by remote plasma sources external to the process chamber.

    Abstract: A particle source in which energy selection occurs by sending a beam of electrically charged particles eccentrically through a lens so that energy dispersion will occur in an image formed by the lens. By projecting this image onto a slit in an energy selecting diaphragm, it is possible to allow only particles in a limited portion of the energy spectrum to pass. Consequently, the passed beam will have a reduced energy spread. The energy dispersed spot is imaged on the slit by a deflector. When positioning the energy dispersed spot on the slit, central beam is deflected from the axis to such an extent that it is stopped by the energy selecting diaphragm. Hereby reflections and contamination resulting from this beam in the region after the diaphragm are avoided. Also electron-electron interaction resulting from the electrons from the central beam interacting with the energy filtered beam in the area of deflector is avoided.

    Abstract: A gas field ionization ion source apparatus is provided which is small-sized, has high-performance, and is capable of performing a tilt adjustment in a state in which an emitter tip position is maintained approximately constant. An emitter (1) is surrounded by a chamber wall (4) of an emitter chamber and ions are emitted from the tip of the emitter (1). A gas that is an ion material is introduced into the emitter chamber, through an extraction electrode (3) to which a high voltage is applied and a tube (15). The emitter (1) is cooled by a freezing means (10) through a metallic net (11) and an emitter base (12). The emitter base (12) is fixed to a movable portion (13a) of a tilting means (13). The movable portion (13a) is connected to a non-movable portion (13b) through a sliding surface (14). The sliding surface (14) forms a part of a cylindrical surface whose central axis is an axis that passes through the tip of the emitter (1) and is orthogonal to an optical axis. If the surface forms such a shape, and the amount of sliding of the sliding surface (14) is controlled, control on the tilt of the emitter (1) can be performed without moving the tip of the emitter (1).

    Abstract: An ion source apparatus has an ion source assembly and a neutralizer. The ion source assembly has a body, a heat-dissipating device, an anode chunk and a gas distributor. The heat-dissipating device has a thermal transfer plate and a first thermal side sheet. The thermal transfer plate has a top, a protrusion and an annular disrupting recess. The protrusion is formed at the top of the thermal transfer plate. The disrupting recess is radially formed around the protrusion. The first thermal side sheet surrounds the protrusion. The gas distributor is mounted securely in the protrusion. Because the protrusion is located between the gas distributor and the first thermal side sheet and the disrupting recess is radially formed around the protrusion, accumulated ions, molecules and deposition film particles are longitudinally disrupted and do not form a short circuit between the gas distributor and the first thermal side sheet.

    Abstract: A cathode sub-assembly is comprised of a retainer, a cathode and a collar, each of which has smooth unthreaded surfaces that slidably engage each other. A shield serves to hold the sub-assembly in a support plate. The cathode projects from the sub-assembly into an arc chamber with a tortuous path created therebetween for passage of a plasma flow.
