Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ion beam measurement, and in particular to a device for in-situ measurement of ion energy and flux. Background Art
[0002] The energy of an ion beam is the energy of the ion beam due to its kinetic energy, while the flux refers to the number of ions passing through the ion beam per unit time per unit area, which is an important parameter for measuring the intensity of ion flow. In plasma physics, understanding the energy distribution and flux of ions is crucial to understanding the stability, conductivity and radiation characteristics of plasma; in the field of nuclear fusion, the energy and flux of ions affect the rate and efficiency of the reaction, and measuring these parameters helps to optimize the conditions of the fusion reaction to achieve higher energy output; in material surface treatment, the energy and flux of ions determine the degree of modification of the material surface, such as deposition, etching or doping, and the precise control of these parameters is crucial for the manufacture of high-quality materials and devices. Therefore, both in the laboratory and in the field of industrial applications, the energy and flux of ion beams are two very important experimental parameters.
[0003] The general measurement of ion energy and flux adopts a contact method, such as using a retarding potential analyzer to measure ion energy and a Faraday cup to measure ion flux. The invention patent CN104483132B provides a retarding energy analyzer for measuring large ion thrusters and the contact method-based plasma energy measurement device provided by CN117794038A, both of which are effective means of measuring ion energy. The invention patent CN209119038U proposes an improved Faraday cup structure and CN117665897A proposes a Faraday cup and charged ion beam measurement method, both of which are effective means of measuring ion flux.

In addition, the ion beam transmission pipeline of a small ion beam experimental equipment is relatively thin, and the measurement positions that can be set at a single location are limited.

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a device for in-situ measurement of ion energy and flux, comprising a one-dimensional transmission mechanism and a measurement probe 9 fixed to the bottom end of the one-dimensional transmission mechanism, wherein the measurement probe 9 is arranged in a transmission channel 10 for transmitting an ion beam;
[0043] The measuring probe 9 comprises a probe housing 9-6, a cover plate 9-1 detachably mounted on the probe housing 9-6, and a collecting electrode 9-5 for collecting ions. The collecting electrode 9-5 and the cover plate 9-1 are arranged at opposite ends of the probe housing 9-6. An insulating sleeve 9-4 is arranged on the inner wall of the probe housing 9-6.
[0044] The cover plate 9-1 is provided with a central through hole for controlling the ion flux entering the measuring probe;
[0045] Along the direction from the central through hole to the collecting electrode 9-5, the first grid 9-2, the second grid 9-10, the third grid 9-3, and the fourth grid 9-9 are arranged in sequence in the probe housing 9-6.
[0046] By setting the measuring probe 9 in the ion beam transmission channel 10 and using a one-dimensional transmission mechanism to drive it to move, it is possible to measure different positions of the ion beam, or move the measuring probe 9 out of the beam area. The central through hole of the cover plate 9-1 can control the amount of ions entering. When measuring the ion energy, the first grid 9-2 is grounded, which effectively shields the interference of the internal voltage on the external ions, so that the external ions can enter the subsequent grid area normally. The second grid 9-10 and the third grid 9-3 apply a scanning voltage, and the electric field between the grids is used to screen ions of different energies. Only ions with energy higher than the electric field energy can reach the fourth grid 9-9. The fourth grid 9-9 applies a negative bias to prevent electrons from reaching the collector 9-5 and inhibit the removal of secondary electrons, thereby ensuring the accuracy of measuring ion energy. When measuring ion flux, the first grid 9-2, the second grid 9-10, the third grid 9-3, the fourth grid 9-9 and the collector 9-5 are all grounded, so that all ions entering the measuring probe 9 can be collected by the collector 9-5, thereby realizing the measurement of ion energy and flux with one measuring probe 9, saving measurement space and cost and improving measurement efficiency.
[0047] By replacing the cover plate 9 - 1 with different apertures, the ion flux entering the measuring probe can be controlled. For example, replacing a small-aperture cover plate facilitates spatial scanning, while replacing a large-aperture cover plate facilitates measurement of ion flux and energy distribution.
[0048] The cover plate 9-1 and the probe housing 9-6 can be detachably installed by means of threaded connection.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the probe housing 9-6 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, one side of which is open, and the cover plate 9-1 is disposed on the open side of the probe housing 9-6;
[0050] The probe housing 9-6 is also provided with an isolation gasket 9-11, and the first grid 9-2, the second grid 9-10, the third grid 9-3 and the fourth grid 9-9 are all positioned and fixed by the isolation gasket 9-11.
[0051] The isolation gasket 9-11 provided in the probe housing 9-6 can accurately fix the positions of the first grid 9-2, the second grid 9-10, the third grid 9-3 and the fourth grid 9-9, ensuring the relative positions of the grids are stable during the measurement process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of ion screening and measurement.
[0052] Further, the collector 9-5 is disposed at the end of the isolation spacer 9-11.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the collector 9-5 is made of graphite material and the measuring surface is arc-shaped. The good conductivity of graphite enables it to efficiently collect ions and conduct measurement signals. The arc-shaped measuring surface can increase the contact area with ions, improve the collection efficiency, and further improve the accuracy of measurement. The insulating sleeve 9-4 and the isolation gasket 9-11 are made of Teflon material. The excellent insulation performance of Teflon can prevent signal interference and leakage between each grid and the collector 9-5, ensure the stability of electrical performance during the measurement process, and ensure the reliability of the measurement results.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the device also includes a vent hole 9-7 for ensuring that the air pressure inside the measuring probe is balanced with the outside air pressure. The vent hole 9-7 is arranged on the side of the probe shell 9-6 opposite to the cover plate 9-1. The vent hole 9-7 passes through the probe shell 9-6, the insulating sleeve 9-4 and the collecting electrode 9-5.
[0055] During the measurement process, factors such as ion impact may cause the internal air pressure of the measuring probe 9 to increase. The vent hole 9-7 can ensure that the internal air pressure of the measuring probe 9 is balanced with the external environment, effectively avoiding discharge caused by the increase in internal air pressure, ensuring the safety and stability of the measurement process, and ensuring that the measurement can be carried out continuously and accurately.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the probe housing 9-6 and the cover plate 9-1 are made of stainless steel, which has good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, and can protect the precision components inside the measuring probe 9 from the influence of the external environment, maintain the structural stability of the measuring probe 9, and extend its service life. The first grid 9-2, the second grid 9-10, the third grid 9-3, and the fourth grid 9-9 are made of molybdenum material. The suitable electrical properties and chemical stability of molybdenum enable it to work stably during ion screening and control, meet the performance requirements of the grid during the measurement process, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the one-dimensional transmission mechanism includes a welding bellows 2, a short tube 4, a conical adapter 6, a hydraulic bellows 7 and a probe rod 8;
[0058] The welding bellows 2 is located at the top and is a retractable bellows structure. The lower end of the welding bellows 2 is connected and fixed to the upper end of the short tube 4. The short tube 4 is a hollow tubular structure.
[0059] The conical adapter 6 is fixed below the short tube 4, and the cross section of the conical adapter 6 is in the shape of an inverted funnel;
[0060] The hydraulic bellows 7 is arranged at the lower end of the conical adapter 6, and the lower end of the hydraulic bellows 7 is directly connected to the flange opening on the ion transmission channel 10;
[0061] The lower end of the probe rod 8 passes through the central holes of the welding bellows 2, the short tube 4, the conical adapter 6 and the hydraulic bellows 7 in sequence and is fixed to the probe housing 9-6, and the upper end of the probe rod 8 is connected to the upper end of the welding bellows 2.
[0062] The measurement probe 9 is driven to move by the one-dimensional transmission mechanism. After the measurement is completed, the measurement probe 9 can be moved out of the measurement channel through the one-dimensional transmission mechanism to avoid affecting the transmission of the ion beam. At the same time, the measurement surface of the measurement probe 9 can be adjusted to be perpendicular to the ion beam axis or at a certain angle by rotating the probe rod 8 to meet different measurement requirements.
[0063] The welded bellows 2 in the one-dimensional transmission mechanism is a retractable bellows structure, which is connected to the short tube 4 and other components, and can achieve axial compression and stretching during the transmission process, thereby driving the probe rod 8 and the measuring probe 9 to move, and realizing the in-situ measurement and one-dimensional spatial scanning of the ion beam. The inverted funnel-shaped cross-section of the conical adapter 6 can well transition and connect components of different pipe diameters, and ensure the sealing of the connection, preventing gas leakage and impurities from entering and affecting the measurement. The probe rod 8 passes through the center holes of each component and is fixed to the probe housing 9-6, realizing effective power transmission, and ensuring that the measuring probe 9 can accurately move and measure in the ion beam transmission channel 10.
[0064] In addition, among the welding bellows 2, the short tube 4, the conical adapter 6 and the hydraulic bellows 7, two connected components can be connected via flanges, and corresponding sealing structures can be configured.
[0065] The hydraulic bellows 7 is connected to the ion beam transmission channel 10, and the hydraulic bellows 7 can be used to adjust the overall angle of the "welding bellows 2, short tube 4, conical adapter 6 and driving mechanism" to meet different measurement requirements.
[0066] Specifically, the hydraulic bellows 7 can produce a slight compression or extension at any position on its circumference, thereby achieving a change in the overall angle of the "welded bellows 2, short tube 4, tapered adapter 6 and driving mechanism".
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the short tube 4 is coaxially arranged with the welding bellows 2 , and the short tube 4 is provided with a support ring 5 for supporting the probe rod 8 , and the probe rod support ring 5 is fixed on the inner wall of the short tube 4 .
[0068] The short tube 4 is coaxially arranged with the welding bellows 2 and is internally provided with a support ring 5 for supporting the probe rod 8. The support ring 5 is fixed on the inner wall of the short tube 4 to ensure the stability of the probe rod 8 during the transmission process. When the one-dimensional transmission mechanism drives the measuring probe 9 to move, the deviation and shaking of the probe rod 8 are reduced, ensuring that the measuring probe 9 can accurately reach the predetermined measuring position, improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement, and reducing the measurement error caused by the position deviation of the measuring probe 9.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the one-dimensional transmission mechanism is configured with a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism is arranged between the welding bellows 2 and the short tube 4, and the driving mechanism includes a servo motor 1 and a lead screw 3;
[0070] A moving ball is arranged on the lead screw 3 , and the moving ball is fixed to the upper end of the welding bellows 2 .
[0071] The lead screw 3 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 1, and the moving ball on the lead screw 3 is fixed to the upper end of the welding bellows 2, so as to realize precise control of the welding bellows 2, drive the probe rod 8 and the measuring probe 9 to move in one-dimensional direction with high precision, realize precise adjustment of the measuring position, meet the requirements of different experiments on the measuring position, and further improve the flexibility and accuracy of the measurement.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the probe rod 8 is sealed with the welded bellows 2 via an O-ring 11, such as Figure 2As shown, O-rings 11 can be provided at both ends of the flanges corresponding to the welded bellows 2, and further sealing connections can be performed in conjunction with flanges of small sizes. The good elasticity and sealing properties of the O-rings 11 ensure that gas leakage and impurities do not enter during the transmission process, thereby maintaining the stability of the measurement environment, and allow the probe rod 8 to rotate flexibly within a certain range, thereby facilitating adjustment of the measurement angle of the measuring probe 9 to meet different measurement requirements, thereby improving the accuracy and applicability of the measurement.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the probe rod 8 is a hollow rod for placing the power supply line of the measuring probe 9. On the one hand, it can prevent the power supply line from degassing and affecting the quality of the ion beam, and on the other hand, it can shield the influence of the voltage applied on the grid on the measurement signal. At the same time, it also protects the power supply line from damage by the external environment, ensures the stability of the power supply during the measurement process, and ensures that the measuring device can work continuously and stably.
[0074] The present invention, the specific operation process is:
[0075] When measuring the energy of the ion beam, the first grid 9-2 is grounded to shield the influence of the internal applied voltage on the external ions; the second grid 9-10 and the third grid 9-3 apply a scanning voltage, and the ions of different energies are screened through the electric field formed between the grids, and only the ions with higher energy than the electric field can reach the fourth grid 9-9; the fourth grid 9-9 applies a negative bias to prevent the electrons entering from the front from reaching the collector 9-5, and inhibit the removal of secondary electrons excited by the high-energy ions from the collector 9-5; the current signal on the collector 9-5 is collected and first-order differentiated, and the energy distribution curve of the measured ion beam can be obtained. When measuring the flux of the ion beam, the first grid 9-2, the second grid 9-10, the third grid 9-3, the fourth grid 9-9 and the collector 9-5 are grounded together to collect all the ions entering the measuring probe 9 through the cover plate, and the collected ion flow signal is measured to obtain the flux size of the ion beam.
