IQE 12 LE
Extractor Type Low Energy Ion Source
The IQE 12 LE ion source operates with a filament and ionizes the gas by electron bombardment. It can be switched between normal and low energy mode. In normal mode, the energy range is 0.2 - 5 kV, suitable for depth profiling or LEIS/ISS applications. In low energy mode, one can change the range to 0 - 500 eV. This mode is especially suitable for charge compensation in SEM applications. Its long-lifetime special Yttrium oxide coated Iridium filament makes the source suitable for reactive and inert gases. In sensitive environments, differential pumping ensures low pressure during operation of the source.
The two-lens system of the source allows easy changing of the spot size, continuously variable from 125 µm to 1000 µm. The COSCON LSIS power supply for the focussing and scanning of the IQE 12/38, is designed for automated operation and full integration into SpecsLab Prodigy software.
