Aperture system

Aperture systems are an ion beam diagnostic tool for cropping or blanking the charged particle beam. The system is designed for power loads of up to 15 W and suitable for a wide pressure range down to ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. The size of the aperture can be individually chosen.

Custom Solutions

We offer development of custom solutions to perfectly suit your implementation.

Special features

  • aperture sizes and dimensions depending on your requirements

  • mounted to a linear feedthrough in order to enable positioning into and out of the beam

  • optionally highly sputter resistant materials (e.g. tungsten) are available and recommended for use with beams of heavy and/or highly energetic ions

  • optional readout of charged particle currents on the aperture system with insulated aperture option and electrical feedthrough option
