    Abstract: An ion source has an arc chamber defining an arc chamber volume. A reservoir is coupled to the arc chamber, defining a reservoir volume. The reservoir receives a source species to define a liquid within the reservoir volume. A conduit fluidly couples the reservoir volume to the arc chamber volume. First and second openings of the conduit are open to the respective reservoir and arc chamber volume. A heat source selectively heats the reservoir to melt the source species at a predetermined temperature. A liquid control apparatus controls a first volume of the liquid within the reservoir volume to define a predetermined supply of the liquid to the arc chamber volume. The liquid control apparatus is a pressurized gas source fluidly coupled to the reservoir to supply a gas to the reservoir and provide a predetermined amount of liquid to the arc chamber.

    Abstract: An ion source for an ion implantation system is configured to form an ion beam from a predetermined species along a beamline, where the ion beam is at an initial energy. A deceleration component is configured to decelerate the ion beam to a final energy that is less than the initial energy. A workpiece support is configured to support a workpiece along a workpiece plane downstream of the deceleration component along the beamline. A beamline component is positioned downstream of the deceleration component along the beamline. The beamline component has a feature that is at least partially impinged by the ion beam, and where the feature has a surface having a predetermined angle of incidence with respect to the ion beam. The predetermined angle of incidence provides a predetermined sputter yield of the ion beam at the final energy that mitigates deposition of the ion species on the beamline component.
