    摘要: An ion generation device includes an arc chamber including an internal space and including a front slit for extracting an ion beam from plasma generated in the internal space, a magnetic field generator that generates a magnetic field applied in an axial direction in the internal space, and a first cathode configured to supply a thermoelectron into the internal space. The first cathode includes a first cathode cap, a first heat source, and a first thermal shield including a first extension portion. A first tip portion, and a first tip opening, and a first opening width of the first tip opening in the radial direction is smaller than a maximum width of the first cathode cap in the radial direction.

    摘要: A Bernas ion source having a shield is disclosed. The shield is disposed between the distal portion of the filament and the first end of the chamber and serves to confine the plasma to the region between the shield and the second end of the chamber. The shield may be electrically connected to the negative leg of the filament so as to be the most negatively biased component in the chamber. In other embodiments, the shield may be electrically floating. In this embodiment, the shield may self-bias. The shield is typically made of a refractory metal. The use of the shield may reduce back heating of the filament by the plasma and reduce the possibility for thermal runaway. This may allow denser plasmas to be generated within the chamber.

    摘要: There is provided a shield plate fabrication apparatus capable of fabricating a shield plate easily. The shield plate is included in a sample milling apparatus which mills a sample by shielding a part of the sample with the shield plate and irradiating the sample with a charged particle beam. The fabrication apparatus includes: a base plate holding shaft for rotatably holding a base plate and winding tape around the base plate; and a tension mechanism for applying tension to the tape while it is being wound around the base plate.
