摘要:
An openable gas passage provides for rapid pumpout of process or bake out gases in an inductively coupled plasma source in a charged particle beam system. A valve, typically positioned in the source electrode or part of the gas inlet, increases the gas conductance when opened to pump out the plasma chamber and closes during operation of the plasma source.
摘要:
An inductively coupled plasma charged particle source for focused ion beam systems includes a plasma reaction chamber with a removably attached source electrode. A fastening mechanism connects the source electrode with the plasma reaction chamber and allows for a heat-conductive, vacuum seal to form. With a removable source electrode, improved serviceability and reuse of the plasma source tube are now possible.
摘要:
A split grid multi-channel secondary particle detector for a charged particle beam system includes a first grid segment and a second grid segment, each having independent bias voltages creating an electric field such that the on-axis secondary particles that are emitted from the target are directed to one of the grids. The bias voltages of the grids can be changed or reversed so that each grid can be used to detect the secondary particles and the multi-channel particle detector as a whole can extend its lifetime.

摘要:
An inductively-coupled plasma source for a focused charged particle beam system includes a conductive shield that provides improved electrical isolation and reduced capacitive RF coupling and a dielectric fluid that insulates and cools the plasma chamber. The conductive shield may be enclosed in a solid dielectric media. The dielectric fluid may be circulated by a pump or not circulated by a pump. A heat tube can be used to cool the dielectric fluid.
