High Current LMIS for Ion Implanters and Single-ended Accelerators — •Philipp Laufer¹, Daniel Bock¹, Wolfgang Pilz¹, Lothar Bischoff², and Martin Tajmar¹ — ¹Technische Universität Dresden, 01062 Dresden — ²Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Bautzner Landstrasse 400, 01328 Dresden

An ion source module based on high current Liquid Metal Ion Sources (LMIS) will be presented for optional use of mon - or polyatomic ion currents of metallic or semiconducting elements [1, 2, 3]. Total emitted ion currents in the order of 100 µA can be reached which are formed to a nearly parallel ion beam of 2 mm diameter using an asymmetric ion-optical Einzel lens. Cluster ion fractions are in the range of per mil up to a few percent dependent on the emitted elements. A mass separation system (Wien filter) selects the desired ions while a quadrupole is used for beam adjustment. Few-atomic cluster ions are of interest to be implanted for an effective surface modification [4]. High cluster ion currents enable the formation of different nanostructures or even smooth surfaces over an area in cm²-range. The LMIS preparation and the performance of the ion beam module at certain experiments will be presented and discussed.
