Popis: Radio frequency driven multicusp source was set up to run chlorine plasma and the source performance was compared between positive and negative chlorine ion production. A maximum Cl− current density of 45 mA/cm2 was achieved at 2.2 kW of rf power with electron to negative ion ratio of 7 and positive to negative ion ratio of 1.3. 99.8% of the total negative chlorine beam was atomic Cl−. To produce negative boron ions for semiconductor manufacturing applications, a noncesiated, sputtering-type surface production ion source was constructed. An external rf antenna geometry and large LaB6 converter were implemented in the source design. Maximum B2− ion current density of 1 mA/cm2 was achieved at 800 W of rf power and −600 V converter voltage. Total B2− ion current was 1.8 mA.
