An ion source and ion implantation system are disclosed that utilize an extraction plate that controls the flow of heat to create a region around the extraction aperture that has an elevated temperature. The extraction plate has thicker portions that correspond to the hottest components in the ion source. These thicker portions extend toward the extraction aperture to bring the heat toward the extraction aperture. The thicker portions may be located directly above the plasma generator, which may be an indirectly heated cathode. Further, the thicker portions may also be located directly above the repeller and/or side electrodes.

The present disclosure describes systems, methods, algorithms, and non-transitory media storing computer-readable instructions for reducing the Boersch effect using dispersive optics, in various embodiments. A charged particle optical device can include a Wien filter disposed on a beam axis. The Wien filter can be configured to disperse particles of a beam of charged particles by energy in a dispersion plane. The dispersion plane can be parallel with the beam axis. The device an include an optical element disposed on the beam axis downstream of the Wien filter. The optical element can be configured to focus the beam of charged particles toward the beam axis. The device can also include a selector. The selector can be disposed on the beam axis at a position substantially corresponding to a third crossover plane downstream of the optical element.

An antenna assembly. The antenna assembly may include an antenna, having a loop structure, and a dielectric window, adjacent to the antenna. The antenna assembly may also include a Faraday shield assembly disposed between the antenna and the dielectric window, where the Faraday shield assembly is disposed at least partially around the antenna. The Faraday shield assembly may include a plurality of metallic sections, electrically isolated from one another, where the plurality of metallic sections are arranged into a plurality of shield pairs. As such, a first metallic section and a second metallic section of a given shield pair may be disposed opposite one another and may be electrically connected to one another.
