    摘要: An ion accelerator includes: an inner magnet having a channel extending through it in an axial direction; an outer magnet extending around the inner magnet, the magnets having like polarities so as to produce a magnetic field having two locations of zero magnetic field strength. The locations are spaced apart in the axial direction; and an anode and a cathode are arranged to generate an electrical potential difference between the locations.

    摘要: A Hall-current ion source with a narrow ion beam energy distribution is presented. A narrow ion beam energy distribution is provided by a utilization of a multi-chamber anode through which a working gas is applied and delivers a uniform working gas distribution in a discharge channel. Introduction of a working gas through a lower part of anode makes applied electric potential in a narrow area and leading to enhanced conditions for a working gas ionization, high ion beam current, high translation of a discharge voltage into a “monochromatic” ion beam mean energy distribution. A multi-chamber anode with a slit exit for introduction of a working gas into area under anode is utilized to prevent a backflow of insulating and dielectric depositions on anode parts, and under anode area makes a nominal operation with reactive gases without a phenomenon called as “anode poisoning” during long operating hours. The ion source with a shielded Hot Filament design shows very effective ion beam neutralization properties; it produces less heating of the substrate than a traditional one; it has a cleaner ion beam because its beam is not contaminated by the Hot Filament material particles. In the design with two Hot Filaments the ion source operation is extended for tens of hours.

    摘要: A Hall-type ion source for generation of ion beams for technological applications presents itself a hybrid ion source, where properties of closed drift systems and end-Hall ion sources are combined for more efficient operation. An ion source has shorter central magnetic pole than regular closed drift ion source with magnetic screens that provide positive magnetic gradient in an ion source's discharge channel. An ion source with these combined properties has higher ratio of ion beam current to discharge current than end-Hall ion source and wider range of discharge parameters than closed drift ion source.

    摘要: A miniature Hall current plasma source apparatus having magnetic shielding of the walls from ionized plasma, an integrated discharge channel and gas distributor, an instant-start hollow cathode mounted to the plasma source, and an externally mounted keeper, is described. The apparatus offers advantages over existing other Hall current plasma sources having similar power levels, including: lower mass, longer lifetime, lower part count including fewer power supplies, and the ability to be continuously adjustable to lower average power levels using pulsed operation and adjustment of the pulse duty cycle. The Hall current plasma source can provide propulsion for small spacecraft that either do not have sufficient power to accommodate a propulsion system or do not have available volume to incorporate the larger propulsion systems currently available. The present low-power Hall current plasma source can be used to provide energetic ions to assist the deposition of thin films in plasma processing applications.

    摘要: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, an end-Hall ion source has an electron emitting cathode, an anode, a reflector, an internal pole piece, an external pole piece, a magnetically permeable path, and a magnetic-field generating means located in the permeable path between the two pole pieces. The anode and reflector are enclosed without contact by a thermally conductive cup that has internal passages through which a cooling fluid can flow. The closed end of the cup is located between the reflector and the internal pole piece and the opposite end of the cup is in direct contact with the external pole piece, and wherein the cup is made of a material having a low microhardness, such as copper or aluminum.
