The present invention generally relates to a low temperature plasma probe for desorbing and ionizing at least one analyte in a sample material and methods of use thereof. In one embodiment, the invention generally relates to a low temperature plasma probe including: a housing having a discharge gas inlet port, a probe tip, two electrodes, and a dielectric barrier, in which the two electrodes are separated by the dielectric barrier, in which application of voltage from a power supply generates a low temperature plasma, and in which the low temperature plasma is propelled out of the discharge region by the electric field and/or the discharge gas flow.

Provided is an ion wind generator capable of diversifying either or both of the amount of wind or wind direction. An ion wind generator (3) is provided with a first electrode (9), a second electrode (11) having a downstream area (11m) which is arranged at a position in a plan view shifted from first electrode (9) towards the positive side in the x direction, and a dielectric (7) between the first electrode (9) and the second electrode (11). In a plane view, the distance (d) in the x-direction from a downstream side edge (9b) of the first electrode (9) to the downstream side edge (11b) of the downstream area (11m) differs in the y-direction which is perpendicular to the x-direction.
摘要:
Self-balancing, corona discharge for the stable production of electrically balanced and ultra-clean ionized gas streams is disclosed. This result is achieved by promoting the electronic conversion of free electrons into negative ions without adding oxygen or another electronegative gas to the gas stream. The invention may be used with electronegative and/or electropositive or noble gas streams and may include the use of a closed loop corona discharge control system.

Certain embodiments described herein are directed to devices that can be used to align the components of a source assembly in a source housing. In some examples, a terminal lens configured to couple to the housing through respective alignment features can be used to retain the source components in a source housing to provide a source assembly.
摘要:
A deposit cleaning system for removing deposits from interior surfaces of ion sources includes a fluorine source, a throttle mechanism, and a controller. The fluorine source supplies fluorine to the ion source as a cleaning material. The throttle mechanism mitigates loss of fluorine through a source aperture of the ion source by at least partially covering the source aperture. The controller controls the supply and flow rate from the fluorine source to the ion source and also controls the positioning of the throttle mechanism.
