ABSTRACTIn Plasma Source Ion Implantation (PSII), a target to be implanted is immersed in a weakly ionized plasma and pulsed to a high negative voltage. Ions in the plasma are accelerated toward the target and implanted in its surface, thereby modifying the properties of the surface. Experimental results reported in the literature have generally been for small targets. We present here the design of a large-scale PSII experiment being assembled Los Alamos National Laboratory, in which we plan to implant targets with surface areas exceeding 1 m2 to doses of up to 5 × 1017 cm−2. In presenting this design, we use Monte Carlo and particle-in-cell simulations to examine sheath expansion, implant current and dose, secondary electron emission, target sputtering, implant depth, and x-ray emission resulting from secondary electrons hitting the vacuum chamber wall.

ABSTRACTA new facility is operational at Los Alamos to examine plasma source ion implantation on a large scale. Large workpieces can be treated in a 1.5-m-diameter, 4.6-m-Jong plasma vacuum chamber. Primary emphasis is directed towards improving tribological properties of metal surfaces. First experiments have been performed at 40 kV with nitrogen plasmas. Both coupons and manufactured components, with surface areas up to 4 m2, have been processed. Composition and surface hardness of implanted materials are evaluated. Implant conformality and dose uniformity into practical geometries are estimated with multidimensional particle-in-cell computations of plasma electron and ion dynamics, and Monte Carlo simulations of ion transport in solids.
