Indirectly heated cathode ion sources have been developed for the VIISta 3000 and 810HP series ion implanters. The sources greatly increase lifetime and maintain or improve beam current output for all species and charge states. The sources are designed with common consumables. Source lifetime, beam current, stability, and tuning data are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
