About the project:
The general goal is to develop a new generation of implantation technologies and relevant laboratory equipment with the ultimate goal of producing and using them in Latvia and in the export market in the world in the future.
The project will develop the following innovative technologies in the form of a concept prototype:
- creation of a boron ion beam source by combining different types of plasma type discharges in a special design, which will allow to miniaturize the equipment. Large-scale industrial implantation devices are currently available on the market, which also use toxic boron fluoride gas, which requires special care;
- to accelerate the ions in the beam, it is intended to use the classical linear accelerator system quadrupole mass selector (QMS);
- The innovations introduced in the technology will open up opportunities to reduce the energy consumption, size and manufacturing costs of the equipment.
