Ion source operating by surface ionization, noticeably for realization of a ion probe

Description

The ion source includes a neutral particle source, which arrives, on an ionization support realized inside an enclosed space closed by a cap and two lateral walls. A hole in the cap faces a plate which defines an ionization principal active surface. An electric field is applied between the whole device and an electrode set downstream the hole. In its whole, the ionization support defines, a chicane impeding the direct passage of neutral atoms through the exit hole, and contributing to an excellent ionization

Abstract (French)

La source d'ions comporte une source de particules neutres qui arrive sur un support d'ionisation realise a l'interieur d'une enceinte fermee par un capuchon, et les parois laterales. Le capuchon comporte un orifice en regard duquel une plaque definit une surface active principale d'ionisation. Un champ electrique est applique entre l'ensemble de ce dispositif et une electrode placee en aval de l'orifice dans la direction D, munie d'un orifice homologue. Dans son ensemble, le support d'ionisation definit, par la surface active et par des trous perces de maniere decalee dans la plaque, une chicane empechant le passage direct des atomes neutres vers l'orifice de sortie et contribuant a une excellente ionisation
