Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Hollow Cathode Hall lon Source is a commonly used ion source, widely used in ion beam technology, mass spectrometry and ion implantation fields. It generates plasma in the hollow cathode, so that ions can be generated and accelerated to realize the generation of ion beam.

[0003] Hollow Cathode Hall lon Source is composed of cathode, anode and magnetic field, the cathode is hollow, filled with working gas, usually inert gas such as argon, the anode is usually a metal ring, used to accelerate the generated ions, and the magnetic field is generated by placing magnets or electromagnetic coils around the ion source, its role is to limit the diffusion of plasma, and guide the ion to accelerate to the anode. When the cathode is connected with enough current, the electron will collide with the working gas, produce ionization, form plasma, and these ionized working gas ions will be constrained by the magnetic field, forming a stable ion cloud. The ion cloud will move along the magnetic force line under the action of the magnetic field, and form an ion beam.

[0004] Hollow Cathode Hall lon Source has many advantages. First, it can produce high-quality ion beam, because the formation of plasma and the acceleration of ion beam are carried out in vacuum environment, so the ion beam is almost not affected by the collision and diffusion of gas molecules, thus ensuring the collimation and stability of the ion beam. Secondly, the working pressure of Hollow Cathode Hall lon Source is relatively low, usually in the range of 10^-3 to 10^-6 Torr, which is conducive to reducing the gas interference between the ion source and other equipment. In addition, Hollow Cathode Hall lon Source also has high ion yield and long service life, which can meet most experimental and application requirements.
