Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of ion source, specifically a kind of radio-frequency ion source.
Background technology
In recent years, ion beam assisted depositing (IAD) technology generally has been applied in modern high-quality, the production of highly difficult, high efficiency optical coating.Ion beam assisted depositing is in gas-phase deposition coating, utilizes high-energy particle bombardment thin film deposition surface, improves the density of film and the structure of film, thereby improves the optical characteristics such as refractive index of film.Ion source plays decisive role as the device of ion beam assisted depositing in the process that changes the deposit film constituent structure.The assisted deposition ion source generally is divided into according to the ion accelerated mode has the grid ion source and without the grid ion source.
In without the grid ion source, commonly used have hall ion source, APS ion source, Penning ion source, an anode layer ion source etc.Without the grid ion source because do not need aperture plate to have power supply and advantage simple in structure, and by carrying out the design in special-shaped magnetic field, make the ion of plasma source extract efficient and greatly improve, under less discharge power (~4KW) just can obtain maximum ion current density 500 μ A/ cm
2Without the most representative in the grid ion source be the APS ion source of German Lai Bao company development, APS ion source and other are similarly without the grid ion source, exist the lower (ion energy: 20-200eV), the shortcoming such as use cost high (expensive LaB6 material) of energy.
In the grid ion source was arranged, commonly used had Kaufman (Kaufman) ion source, radio frequency (RF) ion source, a microwave ion source etc.Wherein, radio-frequency ion source is that present optical coating uses ionogenic main flow, as shown in Figure 1, in its arc chamber without filament as negative electrode, but adopt magnetic induction to produce plasma, thereby prolong stable work time, and reduce the impurity in the ion beam; Utilize the grid plasma to accelerate, wherein grid comprises screen, accelerating grid and grounded grid three-decker, and adopts averager to force neutralization.External the most representative with the radio-frequency ion source of U.S. Veeco company at present, its advantage is: the grid acceleration energy is large, but the ion pack, and the energy adjustment wide ranges is applicable to reacting gas.Shortcoming is: complex structure, expensive, poor stability, grid need often to clean, and ion beam current is low, and the wider distribution of ion energy is inhomogeneous etc.Domestic also have many units at the research radio-frequency ion source, and such as plasma physics research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Northeastern University, China Engineering Physics Research Institute, but they are in the development stage basically, and poor stability does not still have commercialization.
