<p>A system for inhibiting the transport of contaminant particles with an ion beam includes an electric field generator (12, 14) for generating an electric field (28) relative to a path of travel (20) for the ion beam (16). A particle (66) located in the ion beam (16) and in a region of the electric field (28) is charged to a polarity according to the ion beam (16), so that the electric field (28) may urge the charged particle (66) out of the ion beam (16).</p> |
