Abstract

A process by which an ion energy analyzer is manufactured includes processing a first substrate to form an entrance grid having a first channel and a first plurality of openings extending therethrough. A second substrate is processed to form a selection grid having a second channel therein and a second plurality of openings extending therethrough. A third substrate is processed to form an ion collector having a third channel therein. The entrance grid is operably coupled to, and electrically isolated from, the selection grid, which is, in turn, operably coupled to, and electrically isolated from, the ion collector.
