Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent any breakdown of the electric power supply and any variation of the beam which might result from electric discharge by earthing a charged-particle lead-out electrode through a resistor the resistance of which can be arbitrarily varied and using the electric potential produced by the combination of the resistor and charged particles flowing into the electrode as the lead-out voltage. CONSTITUTION:The charged particle ray device of this invention is constituted of charged particle sources 1 and 2, a control electrode 3, a charged-particle lead-out electrode 4, an accelerating electrode 5, an electrostatic lens 6 and a sample 7. The lead-out electrode 4 is earthed through a resistor 10 the resistance of which can be arbitrarily varied. The electric potential produced by the combination of the resistor 10 and charged particles flowing through the resistor 10 due to part of an ion beam 11 bumping against the periphery of the hole of the lead-out electrode 4, is directly used as the lead-out voltage of the lead-out electrode 4. Due to the above structure, electric discharge is prevented from developing among the particle sources 1 and 2 and the lead-out electrode 4 thereby preventing any beam variation. Besides, it is possible to reduce the cost of the device by omitting part of the electric power supply.

In a high-energy charged beam irradiation system (charged particle beam device) that requires an extraction electrode and a subsequent accelerating electrode, for example, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science 132nd Committee 88th Research Meeting Material No. 13
As described on pages 17 to 1. Because of the need to adjust the ion extraction potential, a variable voltage high power source that can adjust the voltage is newly provided. In this method, the extraction voltage can be arbitrarily adjusted as needed, and the charged particle beam to be extracted can be controlled. However, a part of the charged particle beam hits the extraction electrode, excites secondary electrons, and as a result ions are generated. A discharge phenomenon is induced between the source emitter and the extraction electrode. When discharge occurs, an overcurrent flows through the extraction power supply applied to the extraction electrode and the high voltage power supply applied to the ion source emitter, damaging the power supply and causing instability of the extracted ion beam.
