Abstract
A microwave (2.45 GHz) plasma source for ion sources has been constructed and its chracteristics have been examined. It consists of the part of the source generating a plasma and that making the plasma uniform. The experiments have been conducted in four kinds of magnetic field configurations generated by solenoid coils and arrays of permanent magnets. The plasma parameters have been measured with a Lngmuir probe located at 2 cm above a plasma grid. The uniform plasma over an area of 8∼10 cm·φ in diameter and the density of 2.6×1011 cm-3 has been produced. The magnetic field intensity near the plasma grid is nearly zero.Keywords
