| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention discloses systems and methods for generating low energy, high current ion beams by scaling beamline dimensions and employing multiple beamlines. An array of beamlets is generated by an ion source. The beamlets then pass through a mass analysis module that permits selected ions to pass while blocking other ions and/or particles. The selected ions can then be accelerated to a desired energy level. Subsequently, the beamlets are diverged in horizontal and vertical directions to form a single low energy, high current ion beam. |
