Abstract

The design and performance of a low-energy ion gun system suitable for surface analysis is described. The ion gun system is capable of delivering up to a 0.72 μA beam of Ar⁺ ions at a potential of 500 eV into a spot diameter of 1 mm. This performance is accomplished by using ion optics to refocus the space-charge diverging beam along the 44-cm path to the target. The ion optics have been optimized by the use of a new simulation program, chden, which can model a series of lenses and the effects of space-charge forces.
