Abstract
Abstract An Mev ion implantation apparatus which does not contaminate a sample substrate with heavy metal particles. The apparatus includes an external resonance circuit type RFQ accelerator incluidng undulated quadrupole electrodes and a separate radio frequency resonance circuit for generating a radio frequency high voltage to be supplied to the electrodes. The undulated quadrupole electrodes and at least a part of metallic supports for supporting the electrodes and voltage supplying lines are provided with a surface coating of silicon, silicon doped with an impurity such as boron, phosphorus, or arsenic, or a light element having a mass number of 28 or less, such as carbon.
