摘要： Plasma processing treatment characteristics of an object are determined nondestructively, prior to plasma processing the object, by placing an indicator layer over at least a portion of the plasma processing surface of the object, so as to generally conform to the shape of the surface. An electrically conductive grid is placed over the indicator layer, and made electrically common with the object. The indicator layer is implanted through the conductive grid, and changes properties responsive to the plasma processing treatment. The implanted indicator layer is thereafter analyzed to determine the treatment characteristics of the indicator layer. Plasma processing spatial distribution and total dosage are determined nondestructively from this information and used to establish the plasma processing program for the object and adjust the plasma processing apparatus as needed.

摘要： A high dose rate, high impedance plasma ion implantation method and apparatus to apply high voltage pulses to a target cathode within an ionization chamber to both sustain a plasma in the gas surrounding the target, and to implant ions from the plasma into the target during at least a portion of each pulse. Operating at voltages in excess of 50 kV that are too high for the reliable formation of a conventional glow discharge, the plasma is instead sustained through a beam-plasma instability interaction between secondary electrons emitted from the target and a background pulsed plasma. The voltage pulses are at least about 50 kV, and preferably 100 kV or more. Pulse durations are preferably less than 8 microseconds, with a frequency in the 50-1,000 Hz range. The preferred gas pressure range is 1.times.10.sup.-4 -1.times.10.sup.-3 Torr; auxiliary electrodes can be used at the lower pressures to provide sufficient seed electrons for initiating a plasma, which is sustained by the beam-plasma instability interaction.

摘要： Ion erosion of grids is reduced in an ion thruster with a multiple-grid ion-optics system. The thruster has an array of aperture sets in which aperture areas change in a perimeter region of the array. In one ion-optics system embodiment, a screen aperture area is reduced and a decelerator aperture area is increased in aperture sets that are proximate to the perimeter of the array. Prototype tests of this embodiment have illustrated significant reduction of ion erosion.

摘要： A workpiece is heated by first forming an ionized gas plasma around the workpiece. A positive potential is applied to the workpiece to accelerate electrons from the plasma into the workpiece. The workpiece is uniformly surface heated by the energy directed into the workpiece by the electrons. The workpiece is cooled by providing a flow of a pressurized liquid material such as carbon dioxide having a triple point. The liquid material is expanded through a nozzle to form solid particles that contact the surface of the workpiece and remove heat from it by subliming.

摘要： An object (30) is plasma processed by placing an electrically conducting grid (34) over all or a portion of the surface (32) of the object (30) so that the grid (34) generally follows the contours of the surface (32) but is displaced outwardly from the surface (32).

The use of a contoured conducting grid (34) allows plasma processing of large, electrically nonconducting objects and objects having sharp surface features or recesses.

摘要： A plasma heating apparatus for heating a workpiece includes a chamber of sufficient size to receive a workpiece therein and a source of a reduced gas pressure within the chamber of from about 0.01 to about 100 millitorr. The plasma heating apparatus further includes a plasma source of an enveloping plasma. Optionally, a workpiece voltage may be applied between the workpiece and the wall of the chamber, and a source of a reactive gas can be provided to backfill the chamber, and radiant heaters can be provided to independently heat portions of the workpiece. In operation, the plasma source produces a plasma that surrounds and heats the workpiece. The plasma and the heating of the workpiece are tailored to achieve controllably uniform or nonuniform heat treatment and/or surface treatment of the workpiece. The apparatus can be used to heat treat the workpiece in vacuum, or a reactive gas such as a gaseous source of nitrogen, carbon, or boron can be backfilled into the chamber to alter the surface chemistry of the workpiece.

摘要： An article (40), such as a piece of manufacturing tooling, is modified prior to use by treating a portion of its surface (38) to be worn so that the treated surface worn more than a preselected amount has a different appearance than the treated surface worn less than the preselected amount, using a treatment process in which the treated surface is at least as wear resistant as the untreated surface. In one approach, the surface (38) is treated by implanting ions to a preselected depth. The ions are chosen so that the substrate has a different color at depths less than the preselected depth than does the substrate at depths greater than the preselected depth. After wear, the treated surface is visually inspected for color variations that indicate wear to more than the preselected depth. The surface treatment can also be accomplished by ion implanting or ion beam mixing a previously deposited surface coating.

摘要： An object (14) which is to be implanted with ions is enclosed in a container (12). A plasma (44) is generated in a chamber (26) which is separate from, and opens into the container (12). The plasma diffuses from the chamber (26) into the container (12) to surround the object (14) with uniform density. High voltage negative pulses are applied to the object (14), causing the ions to be accelerated from the plasma (44) toward, and be implanted into, the object (14). Line-of-sight communication between a plasma generation source (30) located in the chamber (26) and the object (14) is blocked, thereby eliminating undesirable effects including heating of the object (14) by the source (30) and transfer of thermally discharged material from the source (30) to the object (14). Two or more chambers (26,34) may be provided for generating independent plasmas (44,46) of different ion species which diffuse into and uniformly mix in the container (12). The attributes of the different plasmas (44,46) may be individually selected and controlled in the respective chambers (26,34).

摘要： The resistance to wear-induced failures during forming operations of non-ferrous die tooling materials, such as epoxy-based and zinc-based materials, is improved by treating the surface of the die tooling. In one approach, the surface of an organic-containing or metallic substrate is coated with a silicon-modified organic materials and then implanted with ions of an inert gas to transform the organic material to a silicon carbide-rich layer. In the other, nitrogen ions are implanted into the surface of a zinc-based alloy.

摘要： A molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth method and apparatus is disclosed which achieves a significantly improved sticking coefficient for materials like Hg upon a substrate, and thus a higher efficiency. A highly ionized, low pressure plasma is formed consisting of a mixture of ions of one substance of a compound to be epitaxially grown, neutral particles of the substance and electrons, and also preferably both ionization and excitation radiation. The plasma is directed onto a substrate together with a flux of the other substance in the compound; the flux can be in the form of either a vapor, or a second plasma. Radiation assisted epitaxial growth for Hg compounds in which ionization and excitation radiation are formed from Hg vapor and used to assist epitaxial growth with neutral Hg particles is also described. The plasma is formed in a special discharge chamber having a hollow cathode with an emissive-mix-free cathode insert. The source is preferably a refractory metal such as rolled tantalum foil, which is substantially emissive-material-free and does not contaminate the plasma. Good results are obtained by allowing the plasma to simply diffuse out through an exit port in the discharge chamber, without special extraction assemblies required by prior ion thrusters. Hg sticking coefficients have been improved by a factor of 40 or more.
