A multicusp ion source has been designed for use in ion projection lit
hography. Longitudinal energy spreads of the extracted positive hydrog
en ion beam have been studied using a retarding field energy analyzer,
It has been found that the filament-discharge multicusp ion source ca
n deliver a beam with an energy spread less than 3 eV which is require
d for the ALG-1000 machine. The multicusp ion source can also deliver
the current required for the application.
