Title: Ion beam profiling system and related methods

Abstract

An ion beam profiling system include a beam profiling element, an ion sensitive element electrically isolated from the beam profiling element, an ion source configured to emit an ion beam at the beam profiling element and the ion sensitive element, and a current measuring device coupled to the ion sensitive element. The beam profiling element includes a plate of material having two parallel major surfaces, a first slit aperture extending through the plate of material and having a first longitudinal length extending in a direction parallel to the two parallel major surfaces, and a second slit aperture extending through the plate of material and having a second longitudinal length extending in a direction parallel to the two parallel major surfaces, wherein the first longitudinal length of the first slit aperture is perpendicular to the second longitudinal length of the second slit aperture.
