    摘要: A cold cathode for generating an abnormal glow discharge electron beam within a vacuum chamber is mounted to a wall of the vacuum chamber such that only the emitting front face of the cold cathode, itself electrically insulated from the vacuum chamber wall by a narrow gap therebetween, is located inside the vacuum chamber, while the remainder of the cold cathode is located outside the vacuum chamber.

    摘要: A disc-shaped plasma, generated by a ring-shaped cold cathode is used both as an in-situ large area (10-20 cm in diameter) VUV lamp and as a source of ground state and excited atoms. The atoms created in the disc-shaped plasma may be used for initiating sensitized atom-molecule reactions in the volume that dissociate the molecules as well as for providing external energy to heterogenous surface reactions. Multiple grid electrodes are used to extract ions or electrons from the plasma during the deposition process. The disc-shaped plasma is of narrow width which is optically thin for resonance photons emitted in a direction perpendicular to the disc to minimize undesired resonance trapping and associated line reversal. This VUV lamp operates without the need for optical windows; hence, ground state and excited atoms, created in the disc-shaped plasma, can diffuse from the disc-shaped plasma toward the substrate.

    摘要: Apparatus for generating multiply charged ions from a source of wide area for use in ion implantation is based upon electron beam plasma interactions which more efficiently create a large density of multiply ionized species than conventional plasma sources over a wide area (1-20 cm in diameter). The beam electrons are generated from a glow discharge electron gun operating in the abnormal glow discharge state. More multiply ionized species are created because of the larger number of electrons at high energy present in a beam created discharge as compared to conventional hollow cathode or thermionic cathode ion sources. By using a ring-shaped cold cathode beam electron generator it is possible to realize a wide area source 2-20 cm in diameter. This multiple ion source permits the realization of a fixed ion implantation energy using a lower electrostatic potential because multiply ionized species are accelerated rather than singly ionized species.
