The numerical model of negative ion beam extraction from the RF ion source by different kinds of large extraction grid systems is considered. The model takes into account the influence of the transversal magnetic field and the electron diffusion. The magnetic filter field increases H{sup -} yields significantly. The random-walk electron diffusion model enables electrons to travel through magnetic field. The H{sup -} currents obtained from simulations with or without the diffusion are compared.
