ABSTRACT:
A beam space-charge compensation device is applied to an angular energy filter provided in an ion beam processing system that performs processing by irradiating onto a wafer with an ion beam. The beam space-charge compensation device comprises a plasma shower provided in a beam-guiding chamber of the angular energy filter. The plasma shower comprises an arc chamber having a filament for generating thermo-electrons for plasma. The arc chamber comprises an extraction hole for extracting the thermo-electrons. The plasma shower is arranged such that the extraction hole is located on lines of magnetic force, perpendicular to an ion beam advancing direction, of the magnetic field and that a center axis of the filament and a center axis of said extraction hole coincide with the lines of magnetic force, perpendicular to the ion beam advancing direction, of the magnetic field.
