Sputter-ion pump having improved cooling and improved magnetic circuitry
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7305235
In a magnetically confined sputter-ion vacuum pump a multi-apertured anode electrode is interposed between a pair of reactive cathode electrode plates. An evacuable envelope encloses the anode and cathode electrodes and a magnetic circuit surrounds the vacuum envelope for producing a glow discharge confining magnetic field extending axially of the apertures in the anode. The reactive cathode plates include peripheral sealing flanges for compressing a sealing gasket into sealing engagement with a pair of sealing surfaces at opposite ends of a tubular main body portion of the envelope. A clamping ring structure, having a bolt circle formed therein, serves to clamp the two reactive cathode plates to the main body and also serves as an integral part of the magnetic circuit. Water coolant channels are brazed to the outer surfaces of the cathode plates for cooling same in use. The magnetic circuit includes a pair of ferrite magnets disposed outside the envelope on opposite sides of the cathodes and enclosed by a magnetic yoke to minimize the size and weight of the magnet and to reduce unwanted stray magnetic fields.
