Ion Beam Guns and Electron Beam Guns

Ion beam guns and electron beam guns produce beams of electrons, ions or other particles for use in chemical and surface analysis, particle physics, resin curing or semiconductor manufacturing. There are many different types of particle beams. Examples include Ion beam guns and an electron beam gun. An ion beam gun releases a stream of charged particle beam that is used to remove oxides and water vapors from the substrate. Ion guns are used in various industries of electronics manufacturing for ion implantation. An electron beam gun shoots an electron beam through the plasma or gas plume and measures velocities of heavy particles and electric fields. Other ion and electron beam guns and accessories are commonly available.

There are several ways in which ion beam guns and electron beam guns function. Ion beam guns provide ion beams that have a current of 2.5 amperes. The sources of an ion gun include alkali metal ions and inert gases like helium. An adjustable beam mount is used with an ion gun that helps to adjust different angles and locations of the substrate. It also consists of a shutter that protects it, when it is not used. An electron beam gun is comprised of an electron source which may be hot filament and is accelerated by high voltage power supply that may be 3KW. Then with the help of electromagnetic force these accelerated electrons are focused and a permanent magnet diverts it through 270°. The permanent magnet diverts it into the crucible and the isotropic material evaporates it. An electron beam gun accelerates the electrons in 600 to 30,000 volt range. Ion and electron beam guns and accessories are designed and manufactured to meet most industry specifications.

Ion beam guns and electron beam guns are used in many applications. Some examples include cathode ray tubes, welding, drilling, melting, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and for sterilizing medical equipment. Ion and electron beam guns and accessories are also used to measure the electron collision cross-sections, heavy particle velocities, and electric fields.
