Abstract
A charged particle filter provides a curved through path and has both magnetic poles for applying a magnetic field normal to the plane of curvature of the path and electrodes for applying a radial electric field. The filter is used as an energy filter downstream of an accelerator in an ion implanter. The filter can be set to provide a range of energy dispersions, to operate as an achromatic bend, or to reject lower charge state ions.
