An ion energy analyzer for determining an ion energy distribution of a plasma and comprising an entrance grid, a selection grid, and an ion collector. The entrance grid includes a first plurality of openings dimensioned to be less than a Debye length for the plasma. The ion collector is coupled to the entrance grid via a first voltage source. The selection grid is positioned between the entrance grid and the ion collector and is coupled to the entrance grid via a second voltage source. An ion current meter is coupled to the ion collector to measure an ion flux onto the ion collector and transmit a signal related thereto. |
