To avoid the intrinsic limitations in vapor deposition of organic molecules a novel ion beam source using Electro Spray Ionization (ESI) was constructed. The single molecular particle beam is formed from charged droplets due to iterative Coulomb explosion. High- and low-pressure radio frequency (RF) quadrupoles and electrostatic ion optics guide the ion beam through four differential pumping stages from ambient pressure to 10−6 mbar at the substrate position.
The composition of the ion beam can be adjusted using the quadrupole ion guides as mass filters. Beam properties, particularly kinetic energy, mass and spatial distribution were characterized. The incidence energy could be measured between 5eV and 20eV per charge. A time-of-flight mass spectrometer was integrated.
Particle beams produced by the ESI source were used in a preliminary deposition setup in high vacuum. The samples were analyzed with atomic force microscopy (AFM) under ambient conditions. Organic molecules (Rhodamin m=443 amu) and Albumin (BSA, m=66000 amu) as well as Gold colloids (diameter=3.6-6.5 nm) were deposited on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) or Silicon substrates.
