Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The plasma etching rate of titanium plate was improved to 1 μm/min by applying a radio-frequency of 1 MHz instead of 13.56 MHz to the processing stage. We have developed a new multicharged ion beam assisted processing system consisting of an ECR ion source, a Wien filter, and a processing stage. A commercially available 1.2-GHz transceiver was adopted as a microwave source to generate the ECR plasma. The Wien filter with orthogonal electric and magnetic fields was employed as a beam separator. Ar ion beams with a current of approximately 62 μA were obtained at an extraction voltage of 4 kV. In addition, we demonstrated that Ar and Xe ions can be separated by the Wien filter. Multicharged ion beams such as Ar2+ and Xe3+ have been produced. The multicharged ion beams have improved the processing speed of silicon wafers by about 20%.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまで多価イオンビームを用いた応用は国立研究所等の研究機関に限られていた.本研究で開発した小型の多価イオンビーム装置は卓上サイズで安価なため,一般の材料研究者にも使いやすい.今後の継続開発によって実用化販売も可能となる.また,イオンビーム支援加工についてはイオンビームの効果を確認することができた.今後,反応ガスの多価イオンビームを用いるなどの追加実験によって,より高速加工が可能と考えている.
