MICROWAVE ION SOURCE

摘要

In a microwave ion source utilizing a microwave and a magnetic field, a microwave introducing window has a multilayer structure of plates with different dielectric constants, a magnetic circuit is arranged to generate a magnetic field having a higher intensity than that defined by ECR (Electron Cyclotron Resonance) conditions so as to form a narrow high-density plasma, an ion extraction electrode has an ion extraction window whose contour falls within a center region of the narrow high-density plasma.
