Abstract:
The invention relates to ion sources having two ionization chambers and more particularly to chemical and heat resistant crucibles for use with said sources. The crucible in accordance with the invention is a hollow box of pyrolytic tungsten having two opposite openings in its lateral wall. The crucible is manufactured from a pyrolytic tungsten deposite made on a copper mandrel which is dissolved in an etching bath.
Abstract:
Turret device making it possible to successively introduce, in the ionization chamber of an ion source, crucibles containing different kinds of elements, without any need to interrupt the operation of the source. This device comprises a detachable rotatable barrel associated with cylindrical support-members 8 carrying the crucibles 1, means being provided for rotating the barrel and for translating any one of the crucibles toward the ionization chamber C. This turret device is suitable for an ion source successively producion ions of arsenic, phosphorus, aluminium, silicium, for example.
