High Current Ion Beam Irradiation chamber

In cooperation with our partners we designed and implemented a new irradiation chamber for about 100 µA 3 MeV Protons (300 W beam). An active cooling using gases or liquids and a ceramic heater enable sample exposure up to 1000°C. The samples are 20mm discs, but larger samples and sample manipulation are also possible. Focussing magnets in front of the chamber enable increasing the local damage rate to about 1 DPA per hour. Shielding, special valves, and wiring enable reliable device operation even at Sv/h radiation levels produced at the sample.

Welcome to Aachen Ion Beams

We are your reliable and innovative supplier for MeV ion-beam analysis for industrial and scientific applications and projects. As a spin-off project of Forschungszentrum Jülich, we offer you access to the latest scientific results and technology.

Ion-beam analysis offers unique analytical features and performance, providing a clear benefit for R&D, QA, and other fields. It features unique capabilities for light element detection (H to F), allows analysis of the complete periodic table, delivers tomographic information, and achieves ppm detection limits. This makes its application fields range from biology over semiconductors, geology, material analysis up to forensics. The headline shows our flexible BEAM-SCIENCE end-station.

We offer complete systems of accelerators and end-stations ready for analysis based on world-leading suppliers and our own innovative solutions. By the combination of physics inspired engineering and AI based data analysis our systems offer the best analysis capabilites at the lowest unit cost available on the market and with the least data evaluation competency requirements. These new developments enable a wider application of ion-beam analysis beyond science for sub-mm sized samples up to 450mm industrial wafers.

Besides complete systems we provide all relevant individual components such as magnets and end-stations and services for improving and extending existing laboratories or setting up new laboratories on your own. Our calibration service based on the latest IAEA recommendations will enable you to improve your analytical accuracy and international comparability. Furthermore, we can also offer you analytical services for project tasks or technology demonstrationbased of our existing system.
