Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment technology, specifically to a filament support structure for ion beams. Background Technology
[0002] Ion beam technology has been widely used in many fields such as materials processing, surface modification, and semiconductor manufacturing due to its high precision and high energy. In ion beam equipment, the lamp holder and filament are key components for ion emission, and their performance directly affects the stability of the ion beam, emission efficiency, and service life of the equipment. The lamp holder needs to provide stable load-bearing and insulation support for the filament, while withstanding the high temperature, high pressure, and chemical corrosion in the ion beam environment. The conductive post, as a bridge connecting the external power supply and the filament, needs to have good conductivity to ensure current transmission efficiency. The filament needs to emit the ion beam stably at a specific angle to meet the working requirements of the equipment. The shortcomings of existing technology: 1. Inadequate performance of conductive pillars: The material selection and surface treatment of existing conductive pillars are not optimized enough, resulting in low conductivity and affecting the energy supply of the filament. At the same time, the lack of reasonable anti-arc creepage design makes them prone to arc creepage in high-voltage working environments, posing safety hazards and reducing equipment reliability. 2. Filament structure defects: Most existing filaments are simple straight or bent structures, which are not optimized for the ion beam emission angle, resulting in a dispersion of the ion beam emission direction and reducing the utilization efficiency of the ion beam; the fixing method between the filament and the conductive post is unstable and is prone to falling off under high temperature or vibration environment; in addition, the filament lacks an effective support structure and is prone to deformation due to high temperature after long-term operation, affecting the emission performance. Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need further improvement. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a filament support structure specifically for ion beams.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the specific solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a filament support structure for ion beams, comprising: The lamp holder serves as the support structure for the base. At least two conductive posts are vertically inserted through the lamp holder for connecting to an external power source; The filament is electrically connected between two conductive posts on the same side surface of the lamp holder.
[0005] Furthermore, the lamp holder has a disc-shaped structure, and the conductive post and the lamp holder are integrally formed, or can be detachably connected by a gasket snap-fit. The lamp holder is made of ceramic and high-temperature resistant insulating plastic, which can withstand the high temperature and chemical corrosion of the ion beam environment.
[0006] Furthermore, the conductive post is a cylindrical metal post with hemispherical ends, made of copper, aluminum or alloy, and its surface is treated with silver or gold plating to improve conductivity.
[0007] Furthermore, the two conductive posts are symmetrically distributed along the central axis of the lamp holder; Both ends of the conductive post protrude from the surface of the lamp holder, with a protrusion height of 1 / 8 to 1 / 6 of the lamp holder diameter, forming an anti-arc creepage distance.
[0008] Furthermore, the filament has a W-shaped bent structure, and its two ends are fixed to the conductive post by welding and pressing.
[0009] Furthermore, the angle between the normal to the plane containing the filament and the axis of the conductive pillar on the connecting side is 30°-45° to optimize the ion beam emission angle.
[0010] Furthermore, a support is provided in the middle of the filament; The top of the bracket is a four-sided cone, which is used to support the middle part of the filament to improve the positional stability of the filament during operation.
[0011] Furthermore, the support has a Y-shaped structure and is an elastic structure.
[0012] Furthermore, a spring is also fitted onto the bracket, and the opening width of the bracket is interference-fitted with the inner diameter of the spring; The Y-shaped structure of the bracket is designed as an elastic structure, tightly held in place by a spring to prevent the spring from falling off.

The protrusion height is 1 / 8 to 1 / 6 of the lamp holder diameter, forming an effective anti-arc creepage distance and improving safety. The two conductive posts are symmetrically distributed along the central axis of the lamp holder, which is conducive to uniform current conduction and ensures stable filament operation. 3. Filament: The filament has a W-shaped bending structure, and both ends are fixed to the conductive post by welding and pressing, which enhances the firmness of the connection between the filament and the conductive post and reduces the risk of filament falling off; the angle between the normal of the plane where the filament is located and the axis of the conductive post on the connected side is 30°-45°, which optimizes the ion beam emission angle and improves the utilization efficiency of the ion beam. 4.
