Filament
A filament contains an electron lens, filament, filament spacer, and reflector. It is positioned
on top of the ion source and plugs into the 3-pin filament connector on the ion source board.
An electron lens (the metal cylinder enclosing the filament and reflector) prevents positive
ions from traveling up the electron beam, extending the life of the filament. It is located
between the filament and the ion volume. The voltage applied to the electron lens affects the
flux of electrons that enter the ion volume. Notice that the filament is a rhenium wire inside
the electron lens that is electrically heated to produce electrons by thermionic emission.
A reflector is located inside the electron lens, and repels electrons emitted by the filament
toward the ion volume. Filaments and reflectors are maintained at negative potential relative
to the ion volume, usually -70 V. The electrons emitted by the filament are accelerated into
the ion volume. The filament spacer is a ceramic ring that aligns the filament with the
electron entrance hole in the ion source block and ion volume. Likewise, the filament retainer
clip is a metal clip that ensures good alignment and fit of the filament to the source block.
