SPECIAL FEATURES
- ECRIS with a compact Wien filter for low to intermediate ion beam currents of several hundreds of microamps
- Facility is offered with horizontal ion beam orientation
- vertical ion beam configurations are possible on demand
OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENTING DEVICES
- alternative ion source configurations with Electron Beam Ion Sources (EBIS) for highly charged ions or Field Ionization Sources (FIS) for the ionization of gases and complex molecules
- generation of metal ion beams over a wide range of elements using the MIVOC method (MIVOC: Metal Ions from VOlatile Compounds)
- gas mixing board for different process gases
BASIC CONFIGURATION
The ion irradiation and implantation facility includes an ion beam source with RF and gas feeding systems, ion beam optics, a charge state & mass separator ( Wien filter), an irradiation chamber with substrate manipulator stage (heatable up to 500°C and devices for linear target motion, for the adjustment of the target tilting angle and for target rotation) for substrates up to inch-size, vacuum system, high voltage power supplies and PLC-based command & control (C&C).
Ion Source
The used ion source is an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS) capable of producing ion beams of hundreds of eμA. Any gas can be fed into the ion source, special techniques can also be used to inject metallic ions and complex organic molecules.
Beam Guiding System
In order to purify the ion beam according to the ion charge state and ion mass a compact Wien filter (low or intermediate ion beam current applications) is mounted downstream of the extraction system.
ION IRRADIATION CHAMBER
The ion irradiation chamber includes a Faraday cup and a manipulator stage suitable for heating (up to 500°C or higher on customer demand) and rotation of the substrates. The manipulator stage is installed on a linear and rotary feedthrough for linear translation as well as for realizing different ion implantation angles.
