Description

A radio frequency ion beam source with a 10 cm x 30 cm rectangular cross-section beam is developed and tested. This source is designed to provide large cover area for ion beam etching and polishing. With a four grid extraction system, this source can operate in argon at beam energies from 100 eV to 1000 eV. When the RF power is about 900 W, beam currents can reach to 600 mA in argon. The beam current uniformity is better than ±6% along the major axis over 27 cm length at a distance 26 cm from the ion beam source. (authors)
