Extraction of ions from the matrix sheath in ablation-plasma ion implantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple one-dimensional theory is presented to assess the implantation of ions from the ion matrix sheath ~IMS! in an ablated plasma plume that is approaching a negatively biased substrate. Under the assumption that the plume geometry, the electron and ion density distributions, and the potential distribution are frozen during the IMS extraction, the implanted ion current is calculated as a function of time for various substrate-plume separations. This model accurately recovers Lieberman’s classic results when the plume front is initially in contact with the substrate. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1343842#

Diagnostic characterization of ablation plasma ion implantation
Experiments are reported in which two configurations for ablation-plasma-ion-implantation ~APII! are characterized by diagnostics and compared. The first configuration oriented the target parallel to the deposition substrate. This orientation yielded ion-beam-assisted deposition of thin films. A delay (.5 ms) between laser and high voltage was necessary for this geometry to avoid arcing between...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Plasma-Immersion Ion Implantation on Insulators
In plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII), a high voltage pulsed bias is applied to a substrate to accelerate ions from a surrounding plasma for implantation beneath the surface. This technique is often used to modify the surface properties of materials. For example, the intrinsic stress of thin films can be lowered, resulting in improved adhesion. For conducting samples, the energy of the in...
متن کاملTwo Dimensional Computer Simulation of Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation
The biggest advantage of plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) is the capability of treating objects with irregular geometry without complex manipulation of the target holder. The effectiveness of this approach relies on the uniformity of the incident ion dose. Unfortunately, perfect dose uniformity is usually difficult to achieve when treating samples of complex shape. The problems arise fr...
متن کاملInfluence of nitrogen ion implantation on the nanostructure and corrosivity of Ni/stainless steel substrates
Ion implantation is a surface modification technology to produce new material on the surface by impingement of high energy ions from the ion accelerator. In this work, AISI 304 stainless steels were coated with 90 nm Ni film by electron beam deposition and implanted by a flow of 5×1017 N cm−2 at 400 K temperature with different implantation energies of 10, 20, 30 and 40 keV. The prepared sample...
متن کاملCharacterization of Expanding Laser Plasma Produced by Laser Ablation
This work is devoted to characterizing the plasma produced by nanosecond laser ablation. The expanding plasma was generated by the interaction of a home made XeCl excimer laser with a Cu target. The time-of-flight method was utilized as diagnostic tool of the plasma charged particles. By this method, in fact, we were able to measure the ion and electron currents, the charge-states and the energ...
