Abstract
A cylindrical ion trap (CIT) mass spectrometer constructed using a non-conductive substrate (LTCC) as the basis for the ring electrode. Photolithography and electroless plating were used to create well-defined conductive areas on the LTCC ring electrode. The inventive method allows for the precise control of establishing conductive areas on a non-conductive substrate through the steps of punching, lamination, firing, metallization and photolithography on the metallized layer.
