Title:
ION SOURCE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3254819
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To enable the continuous operation of an ion source device, which utilizes the electron emitted from a filament to generate the plasma and which draws out the ion from that plasma to generate the ion beam, for a long time by prolonging the lifetime of a filament.
CONSTITUTION: A specified number or more of filaments 3-1 to 3-6 are arranged in a plasma chamber, and at the initial time of the starting of the operation, a specified number of filaments 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 are electrified, and the residual filaments are left as a spare. Ammeters 10-1 to 10-6 and switches 11-1 to 11-6 are connected to each filament 3-1 to 3-6, and each ammeter 10-1 10-6 are connected to a CPU 13 for controlling ON/OFF of the switches 11-1 to 11-6 through comparators 12-1 to 12-6. On the basis of the signal from the comparators 12-1 to 12-6, the CPU 13 is programmed so as to turn on the switches 11-4, 11-5, 11-6 corresponding to the spare filaments 3-4, 3-5, 3-6 for each time when the filament during the operation is seemed to be fused.
