Development and test of 2.45 GHz microwave ion source based intense ion beam experimental facility

摘要

An intense low energy ion beam facility has been designed, developed at Inter University Accelerator Centre (ILIAC), New Delhi. This facility comprises of a 2.45 GHz microwave ion source, multi-electrode extraction system and an experimental chamber. The facility was designed to perform experiments using intense ion beams having energy in range of a few keV to a few tens of key. The plasma chamber was designed keeping two additional ports for plasma diagnostics. In order to deliver intense ion beams on the target with low electric field, a four-electrode extraction system has been developed. This facility has been used for 10 keV N+ & O+ ion implantation in silicon at varying doses. The implanted samples have been characterized by using Rutherford Back Scattering (RBS), RBS Channeling (RBS-C) and Nuclear Resonance Analysis (NRA). (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
