Abstract

An actively cooled gas conduit for use with an ion source is disclosed. The gas conduit includes a gas channel and a cooling channel that may be adjacent to one another for at least a portion of the length of the gas channel. The gas conduit may be constructed by bonding two or more tubes together. Alternatively, the gas conduit may be constructed using additive manufacturing such that the cooling channel and the gas channel are within the same gas conduit. In some embodiments, the return channel is also disposed in the gas conduit. By actively cooling the gas conduit, the temperature of the gas conduit may be lowered, which reducing the possibility of clogging due to decomposition of the feed gas.
