    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: The invention relates to an electron impact gas ion with high brightness and low energy spread. This high brightness is achieved by injecting electrons in a small ionization volume (from less than 1 μm to several tens of micrometers in size) from one side and extracting ions from the other. The electrons injected are produced by a high brightness electron source, such as a field emitter or a Schottky emitter.In one embodiment of the invention the required high electron density in the ionization volume is realized by placing a field emitter close to the ionization volume (e.g. 30 μm), without optics between source and ionization volume.In another embodiment of the invention the source is imaged onto a MEMS structure. Two small diaphragms of e.g. 50 nm are spaced e.g. 1 μm apart. The electrons enter through one of these diaphragms, while the ions leave the ionization volume through the other one. The two diaphragms are manufactured by e.g. drilling with an ion beam, resulting in two small and well aligned diaphragms.
