Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH04274149A] PURPOSE: To separate most suitably plasma from extraction region electrically by a vacuum arc electron source with a plasma generator, wherein an anode and a cathode are arranged facing each other to generate plasma when adding appropriate electric potential between the anode and the cathode, a plasma extraction device and a substance holding device arranged between the electron extraction device and the plasma generator. CONSTITUTION: One or more conductive upstream baffles 10 and downstream baffles 20 are composed with a substance holding device arranged in the direction of electron extraction, and these baffles have holes 16, 26 arranged in five-point shape and when electric potential of these baffles are regulated in fixed values, plasma P is controlled so as not to extend to the downside of the downstream baffle 20.
