Title:
DEVICE FOR MEASURING MEAN FREE PATH, VACUUM GAUGE, AND METHOD FOR MEASURING MEAN FREE PATH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/033933
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are a device for measuring the mean free path, a vacuum gauge, and a method for measuring the mean free path, which enable the direct measurement of the mean free path of charged particles. Specifically disclosed is a device for measuring the mean free path, which is provided with an ion source for generating ions, a collector (24a) for detecting the first charged particle number of charged particles having a first flight distance (L1) that is a flight distance of 0 or more from the ion source, and a collector (24b) for detecting the second charged particle number of charged particles having a second flight distance longer than the first flight distance. A control unit of the device calculates the mean free path from the ratio between the first and second charged particle numbers.
