Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and structures that enable a compact, UHV ion trap system that can operate at temperatures above cryogenic temperatures. Ion trap systems in accordance with the present disclosure are surface treated and sealed while held in a UHV environment, where disparate components are joined via UHV seals, such as weld joints, compressible metal flanges, and UHV-compatible solder joints. As a result, no cryogenic pump is required, thereby enabling an extremely small-volume system.
