Abstract
Multiple control electrodes are provided asymmetrically within the plasma chamber of an ion source at respective positions along the length of the plasma chamber. Biasing the control electrodes selectively can selectively enhance the ion extraction current at adjacent positions along the length of the extraction slit. A method of generating an ion beam is disclosed in which the strengths of the transverse electric fields at different locations along the length of the plasma chamber are controlled to modify the ion beam linear current density profile along the length of the slit. The method is used for controlling the uniformity of a ribbon beam.
