    Abstract: A process for modifying a surface of a substrate is provided that includes supplying electrons to an electrically isolated anode electrode of a closed drift ion source. The anode electrode has an anode electrode charge bias that is positive while other components of the closed drift ion source are electrically grounded or support an electrical float voltage. The electrons encounter a closed drift magnetic field that induces ion formation. Anode contamination is prevented by switching the electrode charge bias to negative in the presence of a gas, a plasma is generated proximal to the anode electrode to clean deposited contaminants from the anode electrode. The electrode charge bias is then returned to positive in the presence of a repeat electron source to induce repeat ion formation to again modify the surface of the substrate. An apparatus for modification of a surface of a substrate by this process is provided.

    Abstract: It is a technical challenge to provide a small-sized ion source excellent in operability. An ion source of the present invention includes: a cylindrical insulation tube (2) opened upward and opened at part of its lower surface; a plurality of hollow cylindrical permanent magnets (3), provided on the outer peripheral surface of the insulation tube to be arranged in a row in the axial direction of the insulation tube; a gas supplying means (34, 35, 20) for supplying gas into the insulation tube; a cathode electrode, at the tip end of which a fitting unit (19) for fitting of a solid material (18) there to is formed; an annular anode electrode (5), which is fitted to an opening in the lower surface of the insulation tube; an upper frame (6), which blocks the upper portion of the insulation tube and suspends the cathode electrode so as to allow the fitting unit to approach the anode electrode; and a lower frame (7), in which an extraction port (37) is formed for extracting ions emitted from the anode electrode, and on which the insulation tube is mounted.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved ion source comprising a magnetron and cathode in a first housing and a cold cathode in a second housing. The second housing generally comprises a Penning cell to collimate an ion beam arising from the first housing. This arrangement provides an ion source capable of ejecting sputtered ions of the cold cathode magnetron discharge into a highly collimated, positive ion beam having low emittance angles. The invention also provides a cold cathode target for use in an ion source, and in particular, to an ion source having single or multiple targets of desired materials and/or dimensions to provide a rich source of boron ions in a manner allowing operation of the ion source free of producing significant toxic effects or corrosion. The invention also relates to a cold cathode target comprising a boron-containing material selected from the group consisting of a boron alloy, a boride, and mixtures thereof. The invention also relates to ion sources which comprise a single solid cathode disc or a multiple or array of solid cathode discs, or having a bore through on axis, in which the cathode is made of conductive materials such as metals, alloys and metal compounds. Example materials include indium, aluminum and indium phosphide. The ion source can be a source of positive gas ions.
