Abstract
We developed a calculation code to trace electron orbits with collisio ns between electrons and argon gas atoms in a bucket-type ion source w ith grid current. By supplying grid current, the lifetime of a primary electron was extended and the number of electrons that escape from th e plasma grid was reduced. This paper discusses the relationship betwe en grid current and lifetime of primary electrons.
