Abstract
To apply an intense pulsed ion beams produced in plasma focus (PF) to material processing, characteristics of the beam was evaluated. In the experiment a Mather type PF was used which was pre-filled with N2 (5.5 Pa) to produce nitrogen ions. To clarify the mechanism of the production of impurity ions, two types of anode (type A; rod type and has an anode tip on the top, type B; hollow shape top) were used. In both type peak discharge currents of 550 kA were obtained at 1.5 {mu}s after the rise of the current. From the measurement by Thomson parabola spectrometer large quantity of copper ions were observed when type A is used and the purity for type A and type B were evaluated to be 26 % and 90 %, respectively. To enhance the energy and the charge state of the nitrogen ions the PF with type B anode was pre-filled with mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen (N2 20, H2 180 Pa). From the TPS measurement, multiply ionized nitrogen ions (N1-5+) of energy more than several MeV were observed with protons of maximum energy 1 MeV. Thin layer of amorphous silicon was irradiated by the ion beams produced in
