Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ion beam jet control technology, and in particular to an ion beam jet angle control method, system, device and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] An ion beam is a group of ions that move at approximately the same speed in almost the same direction. Ion beams are widely used in industrial processing.

[0003] In the prior art, the emission angle of the ion beam is changed by adjusting the emission of the ion beam. However, this method requires frequent movement of the ion generating device and cannot make precise adjustments to the fine angle. As a result, the ion beam cannot be deflected at a preset angle.

[0004] For example, a "gas jetting system for an ion beam device" disclosed in Chinese patent literature, publication number CN107924805A, application date August 17, 2016, can release the residual removal gas through the gas orifice in the gas distributor of the extraction plate. However, it has the problem that it cannot achieve the deflection of the jetted ion beam at a preset angle. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies that cannot deflect the ejected ion beam at a preset angle, this invention proposes an ion beam ejection angle control method, system, device, and storage medium that can utilize the electric field force exerted on charged ions in an electric field to deflect the ejected ion beam at a preset angle.

[0006] Another objective of this invention is to acquire and configure a jetting scheme, which includes jetting angle, jetting speed, jetting direction, period step size, and deflection period. The control unit controls voltage changes and the corresponding positive electrode voltage value based on the voltage value of each deflection. The angle of ion beam scanning can be adjusted by providing different voltages through the control module.

[0007] The following is the technical solution of the present invention: a method for controlling the ion beam ejection angle, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1: Obtain and configure the injection scheme;

[0009] S2: Calculate the voltage change value based on the injection scheme;

[0010] S3: Periodically control voltage changes based on voltage change values.

[0011] In this solution, a jetting scheme is obtained from a third-party platform or tailored to actual application requirements. After setting up the corresponding system, the voltage change value is calculated based on the configuration scheme. The voltage change is then periodically controlled based on this value. Since the electric field strength is related to the voltage applied to it, the scanning angle of the ion beam can be adjusted by providing different voltages. This allows the jetting ion beam to be deflected at a preset angle by utilizing the electric force exerted on charged ions in the electric field.

[0012] Preferably, in S1, the injection scheme includes injection angle, injection speed, injection direction, cycle step size, and deflection cycle.

[0013] In this scheme, the ejection velocity represents the ejection speed of the ion beam in the generating module, the ejection angle represents the angle covered by the ion beam, the deflection period represents the periodic time for the ion beam to complete the ejection angle, and the period step represents the time step of the ejected ion beam. Corresponding positive and negative polarity plates are set according to the ejection direction, and the voltage change is calculated based on the ejection angle, ejection velocity, period step, and deflection period. This scheme utilizes the electric field force exerted on charged ions in an electric field to deflect the ejected ion beam at a preset angle.

[0014] Preferably, in S2, the voltage value is calculated based on the injection angle, polarity plate length, injection speed, and distance between the positive and negative polarity plates, as shown in the following expression:

[0015]

[0016] In the above formula, This is the voltage value; Each electron carries a charge; It refers to the ion mass; The spray angle; The length of the polar plate; The jet speed; For the number of electrons; This represents the distance between the positive and negative polarity plates.

[0017] In this scheme, the voltage value is calculated based on the spray angle, polar plate length, spray speed, and distance between the positive and negative polar plates. This facilitates the calculation of voltage change based on the voltage value, thereby enabling the sprayed ion beam to deflect at a preset angle.

[0018] Preferably, in S2, the voltage change is calculated based on the voltage value, the period step size, and the deflection period, as shown in the following expression:

[0019]

[0020] In the above formula, This represents the voltage change value. Each electron carries a charge; It refers to the ion mass; The length of the polar plate; The jet speed; For the number of electrons; This represents the distance between the positive and negative polarity plates. The periodic step size; For the deflection period; This refers to the spray angle.

[0021] In this scheme, the voltage change value is calculated based on the voltage value, the period step size, and the deflection period, thereby enabling the jet ion beam to deflect at a preset angle.

[0022] Preferably, in S2, the first spray range and the second spray range are divided by the bisector of the spray angle. The first spray range is controlled by the negative polarity plate and the first positive polarity plate, and the second spray range is controlled by the negative polarity plate and the second positive polarity plate.

[0023] In this scheme, the first and second spray ranges are divided by a bisector of the spray angle. The first spray range is controlled by a negative polarity plate and a first positive polarity plate, while the second spray range is controlled by a negative polarity plate and a second positive polarity plate. When switching from the first to the second spray range, the voltage change values ​​of the negative and first positive polarity plates are decreased by a periodic step until they reach 0, and then increased by a periodic step. Conversely, when switching from the second to the first spray range, the voltage change values ​​of the negative and first positive polarity plates are decreased by a periodic step until they reach 0, and then increased by a periodic step. This control of voltage changes allows the sprayed ion beam to be deflected at a preset angle.

[0024] An ion beam ejection angle control system includes: a generation module, the generation module being connected to a transmission module, the transmission module being connected to a control module, and the control module being connected to a configuration acquisition module.

[0025] In this scheme, the generating module generates and ejects an ion beam to the transmission module. The transmission module combines the ion beam and transmits it to the end opening. Two positive polarity plates are alternately energized, deflecting the ion beam to the left or right, respectively. Since the electric field strength is related to the voltage applied to it, the configuration module acquires the ejection scheme and calculates the voltage value for each deflection based on the scheme. The control module can adjust the ion beam scanning angle by providing different voltages. This allows the ejected ion beam to be deflected at a preset angle by utilizing the electric force exerted on charged ions in an electric field.

[0026] Preferably, the first and second positive polarity plates of the control module are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the negative polarity plate.

[0027] In this design, there are two positive polarity plates and one negative polarity plate, with the two positive polarity plates symmetrically distributed on both sides of the negative polarity plate. When the two positive polarity plates alternately carry current, they are responsible for deflecting the ion beam to the left or to the right, respectively.

[0028] Preferably, the analog-to-digital conversion module of the control module is connected to the first positive plate, the second positive plate, the negative plate, and the control unit.

[0029] In this scheme, when the two positive polarity plates are energized in rotation, they are responsible for deflecting the ion beam to the left or to the right, respectively. The voltage of the voltage module is automatically controlled by the control unit to change periodically, so that the ejected ion beam can be deflected at a preset angle by utilizing the electric field force of charged ions in the electric field.

[0030] An apparatus includes: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement an ion beam ejection angle control method.

[0031] A storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements a method for controlling the ion beam ejection angle.

[0032] The beneficial effect of this invention is that it can utilize the electric field force acting on charged ions in an electric field to deflect the jet ion beam at a preset angle. Attached Figure Description

The generating module 1 generates and ejects an ion beam to the transmission module 2. The transmission module 2 combines the ion beam and transmits it to the end opening. When the two positive polarity plates are energized alternately, they are responsible for deflecting the ion beam to the left or right, respectively. Since the electric field strength is related to the voltage applied to it, the scanning angle of the ion beam can be adjusted by providing different voltages through the control module 3. The deflection angle of the ions in the electric field formed by the positive and negative polarity plates 31 is shown. and electric field force Horizontal acceleration is generated, and the ion velocity is increased. Constantly increasing. Electric field force. and electric field strength Related to the electric charge carried by ions Determined by. Electricity.

The negative polarity interface is connected to the negative polarity plate 31, and the positive polarity interfaces are connected to the positive polarity plates. The electric field strength is related to the voltage applied to it, providing the voltage required for the ion beam at different angles. After calculating the voltage value for each deflection, configuration module 4 transmits the corresponding voltage value to control unit 35. Control unit 35 controls the voltage change and the corresponding positive polarity plate according to the voltage value for each deflection.

The voltage module includes a control unit 35 and a digital-to-analog converter module 34. The digital-to-analog converter module 34 is equipped with a negative polarity interface and several positive polarity interfaces. The negative polarity interface is connected to the negative polarity plate 31, and the positive polarity interfaces are connected to the positive polarity plates. If the injection direction of the ion beam is planar, that is, the ion beam is injected in a plane, then two positive polarity plates are evenly distributed on both sides of the negative polarity plate 31 on the plane.

[0052] In step S2, the voltage change value of the voltage module is calculated based on the injection scheme.

[0053] Specifically, since the ion beam moves left and right in the plane, the spray angle is determined with reference to the transmission module 2. Take half as the deflection angle Then the deflection angle .

A program is written using CNC programming or computer programming to initialize the corresponding parameters, such as the lengths of the positive and negative plates 31. jet speed Period step size and deflection period The voltage value for each deflection is automatically calculated based on step S2. The processor executes the program to obtain the cycle step. Change the corresponding voltage value The voltage is then transmitted to the control unit 35, which controls the voltage change and the corresponding positive plate voltage value based on the voltage value of each deflection.

[0079] The spray direction of the field module is in the same plane as the positive and negative polarity plates 31, with the negative polarity plate 31 located on the bisector of the spray angle.
