Electron and Neutralizer Sources

PicoTech offers a wide range of Electron and Neutralizer Sources by Kaufman & Robinson.

These electron sources are low energy and high current sources. Typically, they are applied as neutralizers or cathodes in the controlled production of ion and plasma beams.

Typical applications are:

Neutralization of ion beams

gridded ion sources, End-Hall sources, anode layer sources
Ionization in plasma generation

End-Hall sources, gridded ion sources
Charge neutrality in positive biased analytical instrumentation

Enhanced electron flux in magnetron sputtering
