TRIUMF¹ & University of Jyväskylä Licensed RF Volume Cusp Ion Source System

D-Pace offers a complete turnkey 7.5 mA Hˉ RF ion source system, with a maximum current maximum Hˉ current > 7.5 mA DC in 20 – 30 keV energy range.

RF Ion Sources have the following important advantges over filament-powered ion sources:

• Long intervals between maintenance (>1 year) – no filaments to replace
• No sputtered metal deposits due to filaments (important for Ion Implantation)
• Ability to pulse beam

The system inccludes the ion source, software and controls, power supplies, vacuum pumps and instrumentation, high voltage subsystems, and access control. Beamlines, slits, emittance scanners, Faraday cups, collimators, and mass spectrometers can also be incorporated. This system can be operated standalone, but the PLC also integrates with higher level control systems through Ethernet controls.
