Popis: An apparatus has been constructed to analyze the particle flux of positive ions on surfaces from dry etching reactors. The particle flux can emerge from a great variety of reactive ion etching systems or from reactive ion beam etching sources. The particle beam passes through a small orifice with a diameter of 100 μm. A differentially pumped quadrupole mass spectrometer with a specially designed ion transfer optics performs the energy analysis of positive ions. The energy range can be varied between 0 and 500 eV with a resolution of 1%. The angular distribution measurements of the particle flux are carried out varying the inclination of the mass analyzer by ±20° with the vertex lying centrally in the sampling orifice. The angular resolution is about 1°. Rotation of the source on top of the apparatus and translation over ±10 cm in xy direction and 15 cm in z direction perpendicular to it is provided in order to assure fully local resolution. The electrical properties of the orifice‐ion optics system is dis...
