Abstract:
A low-energy ion beam system operating at a dc voltage of less than 300 V was developed using an ion source with a multicusp magnetic field. A high-current-density ion beam of 6.9 mA∕cm(2) was successfully extracted at the electrode. The beam extraction characteristics for flat and concave electrodes were compared. In the case of a concave electrode with a designed focal length of 350 mm, it was observed that the beam profile was sharper than that obtained using a flat electrode.
