AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies require the disassembly of the ion source and accelerator tube when installing high-melting-point isotope targets, which is complicated. The graphite pot cannot be moved in two dimensions, causing the beam spot to deviate from the center, increasing the non-uniformity of the target sheet thickness, and resulting in poor overall stability.
The system employs a combination structure of an insulating base, a nuclear target holder, and a high-voltage electrode disk. The nuclear target holder is slidably installed via outer and inner track grooves, and two-dimensional adjustment is achieved using an adjusting screw and scale lines, simplifying the operation process and ensuring beam center alignment.
It simplifies the installation process of high-melting-point isotope nuclear targets, reduces workload, improves the uniformity of target thickness and the stability of ion source, and shortens the preparation cycle.

Description
A high-melting-point isotope nuclear target mounting base and its mounting method Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of heavy ion sputtering preparation of nuclear targets, specifically to a high-melting-point isotope nuclear target mounting base and its mounting method. Background Technology
[0002] The basic principle of preparing isotope targets by heavy ion sputtering is to use Ar+ generated by an ion source to be introduced into a high vacuum chamber through an extraction electrode. The energy of Ar+ is accelerated to 10 keV by an accelerating high voltage. Then, by adjusting the focusing voltage of the focusing lens and the discharge state of the ion source, a strong ion beam with a beam spot of about φ2 mm is obtained on the surface of the sputtered material. When the high-energy ion beam bombards the surface of the target material, it exchanges energy with the atoms and molecules on the surface of the target material. When the energy obtained by the atoms or molecules on the surface of the target material is greater than the binding energy of the material surface, the atoms or molecules are sputtered out and deposited on the surrounding substrate to form a target film.
[0003] Due to the high cost of isotope target materials and the scarcity of materials available from users, the preparation of isotope targets presents significant requirements and challenges. Under current technological conditions, isotope target preparation methods are categorized into high-melting-point and low-melting-point materials based on their melting and boiling points. Low-melting-point materials are prepared using spin vapor deposition, a relatively mature technology that produces high-quality isotope targets. For high-melting-point isotope targets, current technology dictates the use of heavy ion sputtering. This is because heavy ion sputtering offers the unique advantages of preparing high-melting-point materials with minimal raw material requirements, minimizing raw material costs while meeting experimental needs.
[0004] During sputtering, the isotopic material is loaded into a graphite pot with an inner diameter of φ4mm and an outer diameter of φ15mm. Four target plates are mounted on a base around the graphite pot, and an accelerator tube and ion source are fixed directly above the target plates and the graphite pot. Each time the isotopic raw material is loaded, the ion source and accelerator tube need to be removed, and then reinstalled sequentially from bottom to top.
[0005] In summary, the existing technology has the following problems: 1. When installing isotope materials and target plates, the ion source and accelerating tube must be removed each time, resulting in a large workload and a complicated process; 2. The graphite pot cannot be moved two-dimensionally in the horizontal and vertical directions, making it difficult to operate when the ion source beam spot deviates from the center; 3. The graphite pot and target plate base are installed separately, which cannot guarantee that the isotope raw material is in the exact center of the four target plates, increasing the non-uniformity of the thickness of the four target plates; 4. The polyethylene insulating base is fixed by two fixing rods, resulting in poor overall stability of the ion source and accelerating tube, which also affects the position of the beam spot.

This facilitates the rotation of the three adjusting screws to push the high-voltage electrode disk to move the graphite pot to the required position, further facilitating the beam adjustment of the ion source and making it easier to adjust the beam spot to the exact center of the isotope raw material, thereby improving the beam adjustment efficiency of the ion source and the uniformity of the target thickness.
[0040] 4. The high-melting-point isotope nuclear target mounting base provided by this invention allows the graphite pot and target sheet to be integrally mounted on the nuclear target base, making the operation of adding isotope raw materials into the graphite pot simpler and more convenient. By adopting this nuclear target base, the heavy ion sputtering operation process is made simpler and more convenient, greatly shortening the preparation cycle of high-melting-point isotope targets and improving the uniformity of target thickness in the same batch.

[0089] Seal the vacuum chamber and evacuate it. When the vacuum level inside the chamber reaches the set value (which can be 1.8 × 10⁻⁶), the vacuum level will be reached. 4 When Pa, open the argon control valve and fill the ion source chamber with argon gas;
[0090] Step S62, Apply high pressure:
[0091] Turn on the high voltage power supply and apply high voltage to the ion source until the ion source starts to arc and emit beam. Accelerate the high voltage to the preset value, which can be 10KV.
