5. 5 Planned Upgrades: Adding SIMS/SNMS/RGA analysis tool SIMS – Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry SNMS – Secondary Neutral Mass Spectrometry SIMS/SNMS will enable routine measurements of dopant profiles in photocathode materials sensitive surface analysis of all detector materials. RGA – Residual Gas Analyser RGA will enable studies of electron stimulated and temperature programmed desorption (ESD and TPD) from all detector materials. We propose to purchase this Hiden Analytical quadrupole mass analyzer with built-in electron impact ionization, which enables SNMS and RGA regimes, besides SIMS. Cost - $118K

17. Some thoughts about future thin-films characterization facility at Argonne… Large Area Picosecond Photodetector Development Collaboration Meeting (Thursday, June 10, 2010 ) 17 This 6 in. flange has small opening and will be is the optimal place for attaching a long sample transfer arm, which will be able to pick up the samples loaded from the growth chamber in the middle and transfer them between four groups of flanges with characterization probes attached (characterization clusters). This 6 in. flange in the middle is located very well (between the characterization clusters) to be connected with the growth chamber through a loadlock system. The presumed orientation of the sample in the growth chamber is facing down. It can be turned facing up for characterization be the transfer arm. Connecting these two chambers through a loadlock will allow us to transfer the synthesized and characterized samples for assembly CHARACTERIZATION CHAMBERDEVICE ASSEMBLY CHAMBER This chamber can be laid on its side, such that the large 16 ½ in. flange will be on the top for easier assembly (including sealing) from the top

18. Some thoughts about future thin-films characterization facility at Argonne… Large Area Picosecond Photodetector Development Collaboration Meeting (Thursday, June 10, 2010 ) 18 Includes three vacuum chambers for: (1) growth/activation of photocathode materials, (2) characterization of these materials, (3) assembly of imaging detectors Growth chamber can be, in fact, a cluster of chambers connected through a loadlock with the rest of the facility Characterization chamber has four groups of flanges where various equipment can be installed. Sample can be moved between these characterization clusters. We presently have in the group the following equipment to populate these clusters: – SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) components – ion guns and quadrupole mass analyzers – Hemispherical energy analyzer for performing energy analysis of photo- and Auger- electrons – X-ray source for enabling XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectrometry) – Electron source for enabling Auger electron spectrometry and low resolution (100 nm) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) – In-vacuum X-ray fluorescence detector to enable EDX (energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrormetry) in conjunction with SEM – LEED system (low energy electron diffraction), which can also be used for measurements of emissive properties (secondary electrons for MCP materials and photoelectrons for photocathodes) More equipment can be added according to the list (to be written by Argonne thin films growers). This list should be carefully composed. There is sufficient number of flanges available on the characterization chamber. To build the facility, based on the components available (listed above), two highly skillful scientist are needed (not postdoc level but experienced), for approximately six month. We have two candidates, Dr. Jerry Moore (our former colleague, Massthink company in Naperville) and Prof. Sergey Chenakin (Institute of Metal Physics, Kiev, Ukraine), who very likely will be interested to do this. Cost, at least, one year of visiting scholar / STA effort ($200K), PLUS ≈ $2M for state-of-the-art equipment

19. Some thoughts about future thin-films characterization facility at Argonne… Large Area Picosecond Photodetector Development Collaboration Meeting (Thursday, June 10, 2010 ) 19 This is Orlando Auciello’s lab in Bldg.200 (room D156). It has sufficient floor space to build the facility there. This is Orlando’s plasma deposition system This is former Orlando’s physical vapour / magnetron sputtering deposition system, which is being revived by Alex Martinson. It can be moved around the lab.
