Development and characteristic study of high brightness ion source using inductively coupled plasma for focused ion beam

유도결합 플라즈마를 이용한 집속이온빔용 고휘도 이온원의 개발 및 특성연구

A ion source using inductively coupled plasma has been tested in order to test its feasibility as a high brightness ion source for focused ion beam. When operating the ion source with filter magentas in front of plasma electrode for a negative ion source, lower remittances are expected. Extracted beam remittances are measured with an Allison-type scanning device for various plasma parameters and extraction conditions. The normalized omittance has been measured to be around 0.2$\pi$mmmrad with beam currents of up to 0.55 ㎃. In particular, noting that multicusp magnets have a role in decreasing the remittance as well as increasing plasma discharge efficiency, transverse magnetic field has been confirmed to be a useful tool fur decreasing remittance via electron energy control.
