Abstract

PURPOSE:To extend the life of a filament by mounting a heater for sufficiently venting an ion source as well as an ion source chamber. CONSTITUTION:A filament 1, a heater 2, an anode 3, and an ion source housing 4 are provided. An ion source chamber 5 is evacuated by using a vacuum pump 6 until it reaches a level of 1X10<-7> torr, and the vacuum pump 6 is kept being operated. When the vacuum level reaches 1X10<-7> torr, the heater 2 is heated, and the ion source as well as the wall of the ion source chamber 5 are heated until it reaches the maximum temperature at which de-gassing is possible, and after the venting, the filament 1 is electrified. Since the temperature of the filament is not elevated during the de-gassing, the life of the filament can be extended.

As a result, the ion source (including the filament) and the ion source chamber wall are degassed. When degassing, the filament current is reduced every 10 minutes to prevent sudden gas release.
The method is to increase the ampere step by step up to 20 amperes, but even with this the vacuum level is 6 x 10-”torr.
Take a deep breath. High temperature of the filament under poor vacuum conditions will shorten the filament life. After the gas release is completed, the degree of vacuum is restored to 4×10''' torr or less.
