Abstract

See full text

In an ion bombardment apparatus of the present invention, a heating type thermal electron emission electrode formed by a filament is placed on one inner surface of a vacuum chamber, an anode for receiving a thermal electron from the thermal electron emission electrode is placed on another inner surface of the vacuum chamber, and a base material is placed between the thermal electron emission electrode and the anode. Further, the ion bombardment apparatus has a discharge power supply for generating a glow discharge upon application of a potential difference between the thermal electron emission electrode and the anode, a heating power supply for heating the thermal electron emission electrode so as to emit the thermal electron, and a bias power supply for applying negative pulse-shaped bias potential with respect to the vacuum chamber to the base material.
