Enhanced carrier mobility in transistors of differing (e.g. complementary) conductivity types is achieved on a common chip by provision of two or more respective stressed layers, such as etch stop layers, overlying the transistors with stress being wholly or partially relieved in portions of the respective layers, preferably by implantations with heavy ions such as germanium, arsenic, xenon, indium, antimony, silicon, nitrogen oxygen or carbon in accordance with a block-out mask. The distribution and small size of individual areas of such stressed structures also prevents warping or curling of even very thin substrates.

The present design eliminates the need for storage rings. Further innovations are to give the HIF (heavy ion fusion) Driver flexibility to drive multiple chambers in the most general case of different total distances between the linac output and each of the various chambers. Using multiple chambers steeply decreases the pro-rata capital investment and operating costs per power production unit, in turn decreasing the cost of power to users.

Heavy ions are ejected earlier than light ions sequentially at almost zero energy and they are accelerated at a fixed voltage so as to be guided to a pusher of a TOF spectrometer.

The focused ions are vertically accelerated using the pusher to perform the TOF mass spectrometry.

Methods for designing a laser-accelerated ion beam are disclosed. The methods include modeling a system including a heavy ion layer, an electric field, and high energy light positive ions having a maximum light positive ion energy, correlating physical parameters of the heavy ion layer, the electric field, and the maximum light positive ion energy using the model, and varying the parameters of the heavy ion layer to optimize the energy distribution of the high energy light positive ions. One method includes analyzing the acceleration of light positive ions, for example protons, through interaction of a high-power laser pulse with a double-layer target using two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and a one-dimensional analytical model. The maximum energy acquired by the accelerated light positive ions, e.g., protons, in this model depends on the physical characteristics of the heavy-ion layer—the electron-ion mass ratio and effective charge state of the ions. The hydrodynamic equations for both electron and heavy ion species solved and the test-particle approximation for the protons is applied. It was found that the heavy ion motion modifies the longitudinal electric field distribution, thus changing the acceleration conditions for the light positive ions.

An ion source that utilizes exited and/or atomic gas injection is disclosed. In an ion beam application, the source gas can be used directly, as it is traditionally supplied. Alternatively or additionally, the source gas can be altered by passing it through a remote plasma source prior to being introduced to the ion source chamber. This can be used to create excited neutrals, heavy ions, metastable molecules or multiply charged ions. In another embodiment, multiple gasses are used, where one or more of the gasses are passed through a remote plasma generator. In certain embodiments, the gasses are combined in a single plasma generator before being supplied to the ion source chamber. In plasma immersion applications, plasma is injected into the process chamber through one or more additional gas injection locations. These injection locations allow the influx of additional plasma, produced by remote plasma sources external to the process chamber.

The present invention provides a pulsed neutron generator. In a high vacuum and high pressure ceramic tube, when a trigger pulse is added between the source trigger pole and cathode of vacuum arc ion, the deuterium atom is ionized and the initial plasma is diffused, such that the anode and the cathode of the ion source is conducted, the arc current is formed, and the high density plasma is generated. Under the action of accelerating the high pressure, the deuterium ion beam interacts with the tritium titanium target, the deuterium tritium reaction produces, and the pulsed neutron with the energy of 14 MeV is generated. A circular magnetic field is set up at the lead pole of the vacuum arc ion source, which can focus on the formation of the deuterium ion, increase the deuterium ion beam to the target, improve the pulsed neutron yield; The combination of a dry pump, a molecular pump, an ion pump and an air pump is used to improve the vacuum degree of the system, and reduce the loss of deuterium ion beam in the transmission process. The aluminum film with the thickness of 400 nm is coated on the surface of the tritium titanium target, which prevents the heavy ion from reaching the tritium target, and reduces the damage of the target.

The invention provides a method for a simulation test about the comprehensive space radiation effect of a surface function material for a spacecraft, which belongs to the field of space environment engineering and can be applied to evaluation on the space environment effect of the surface function material for the spacecraft. When the spacecraft is in an on-orbit working, most surface function materials are directly exposed in the on-orbit environment, and the influence of the radiation environment is more severe. The surface function materials are irradiated by electrons, protons, alpha particles and heavy ions with wider energy and flux, and the radiation of all the particles can lead the performances of the surface function materials to be deteriorated. In a long-life design of a satellite, the capability of bearing the influence of the environment with comprehensive space radiation needs to be inspected. The method provided by the invention has an important significance in evaluation on the ground simulation test about the orbit radiation effect of the surface function material for the spacecraft.
