  • Abstract
    A microprobe facility has been installed at the ETH-EN Tandem accelerator which is capable of focusing protons and heavy ions with a mass-energy product P ¿ 70 amu MeV/q2 (q = charge state) to a spot size of 10-30 ¿m2. By means of a digitally controlled electrostatic system a proton beam of 3 MeV can be deflected in computer controlled patterns over a target area of 1.5×1.5 mm2. The system can be used either for highly sensitive trace element analysis or for deep implantation of heavy ions.
