Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of hot cathode arc discharge ion sources, in particular to a replaceable filament assembly for a hot cathode arc discharge ion source.
Background
On hot cathode arc discharge ion sources, the plasma is generated by impact ionization of space electrons. In order to make the space have enough free electrons, the cathode needs to be heated to about 3000K to realize the thermal emission of electrons, so the cathode of the hot cathode arc discharge ion source usually uses a filament made of tungsten material. The tungsten filament needs to be fed with a large current to maintain heating, the current is usually 100-120A, but at the same time, the tungsten filament is used as a cathode for arc discharge, and both the positive and negative ends of the filament need to be insulated from the discharge chamber. The ion source is internally vacuum in a working state, and the filament meets the requirement of vacuum sealing while feeding a large current.
In a traditional technical scheme, a filament is installed on an ion source, a ceramic insulating tube of the filament needs to be brazed to the ion source body through kovar alloy, and a feed terminal is brazed to the ceramic insulating tube through kovar alloy, so that the insulating requirement and the vacuum sealing requirement are met. However, such a solution causes problems of difficult maintenance and difficult repair in use.
During ion source operation, if filament damage occurs, for example: a filament is required to be replaced with a new one due to a filament burning-out phenomenon caused by an excessive filament current or a filament meltdown phenomenon caused by a partial arc discharge. Because the feed terminals are soldered to the ion source, they cannot be removed and the ion source can only be turned on to facilitate replacement of the filament with a new one. During the replacement process, the associated crane and sling need to be prepared to disassemble the ion source, and the ion source needs to be exposed to the atmosphere for a long time, resulting in a long installation process time, and a long time is needed for vacuum pumping to an operating state after installation.
In the operation process of the ion source, accidental collision is inevitable, so that the Kovar brazing part is damaged or the ceramic is damaged, the damage of any position causes the damage of the vacuum environment, and the ion source cannot operate. The ion source is required to be disassembled when the damaged part is repaired or the ceramic is replaced, and the ion source is integrally placed into the brazing furnace for re-welding. The process takes longer time, has higher technical difficulty and can not ensure the success of one-time repair. After the repair is finished, vacuum leak detection work is needed, and the ion source needs to be vacuumized for a long time when being restored to the working state again.
The invention provides a replaceable filament assembly for a hot cathode arc discharge ion source, which solves the problems.
