IG2 Sputter Ion Source Package

2 kV source and controller - low cost solution for beam etching and sputter cleaning The Model 04-165 Backfill Ion Source generates an energetic inert gas ion beam for sputter-etching solid surfaces. The source requires a static pressure of 5x10-5 torr with an inert gas such as argon. Ions are generated by electron impact within the ion source’s dual filament ionization chamber and are then focused at the target with energies of up to 2 kV. The impurity content of the ion beam is minimized by using an off-axis filament geometry. A focusing lens permits high ion current density to be obtained for a given operating pressure and source-to-sample distance. A dual tungsten filament assembly permits continued operation when the first filament opens.
