Abstract:
An ion source for an implanter includes a first solid state source electrode disposed in an ion source chamber. The first solid state source electrode includes a source material coupled to a first negative potential node. A second solid state source electrode is disposed in the ion source chamber. The second solid state source electrode includes the source material coupled to a second negative potential node, and the first solid state source electrode and the second solid state source electrode are configured to produce ions to be implanted by the implanter.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a gamma ray detector is provided. The gamma ray detector may include a converter element, configured to release an electron when a gamma ray moves at least partially through the converter element. The gamma ray detector may further include a semiconductor detector, arranged to receive the electron and configured to produce a signal when the electron moves at least partially through the semiconductor detector; and an amplifier circuit, coupled to the semiconductor detector and configured to amplify the signal produced by the semiconductor detector. In the gamma ray detector, the converter element may be arranged to at least partially shield the amplifier circuit from electromagnetic radiation.
Abstract:
A method to determine a relative concentration of a first kind of ions with respect to a second kind of ions solute in a drop of a liquid comprises providing a voltage to a measurement electrode and a counter electrode, the measurement electrode being provided over a semiconductor substrate comprising a plurality of channels, the channels connecting a cavity and the measurement electrode, wherein the counter electrode is arranged to be in contact with the cavity, when the cavity, the measurement electrode and the counter electrode are arranged to accommodate the drop of a liquid and allow a voltage to be applied to the drop of liquid. The method further comprises determining a current or a change of the current flowing through the drop of liquid in response to the applied voltage; and providing an evaluation signal indicative of the relative concentration based on the determined current or the determined change of current.
