Purpose
A plasma is a stream of
highly ionized gas.
A plasma is electrically
conductive.
A plasma is affected by
magnetic fields.
Operate at ~ 6-10000 K.
Fourth state of matter.
Most common state of
matter in the universe.

The Interface and Vacuum System
Ion extraction is achieved through use of vacuum
pumps.
A mechanical pump evacuates the region between
the sampler and skimmer cone. This serves to pull
ions from the plasma through the sampler orifice.
The main chamber is evacuated using powerful
turbo pumps which draw the ion stream from the
interface region through the skimmer orifice.
Mass Filter
Filter
Cylinder
Lens (E1) Using the electric field from
specially shaped metal pieces
(ion lenses), the ions are
pushed into the mass filter.
These electric fields are created
by applying an electric current
or voltage to the lens.
