Abstract

As Plasma Immersion ion Implantation (PIII) using a conducting grid is very useful to reduce the effect of capacitance and charging in surface modification. If the bias voltage applied to the conducting grid is in the range of hundreds of volts, the effects of surface charge and space charge substantially affect the incident ion energy and ion current to the surface. In this paper, through an 1d and a 2d PIC simulation the time varying formation of the space charge and surface charge is analyzed. Experiment with the optimally designed grid on the basis of the simulation results is conducted, and the results of both cases with grid and without grid are compared. In our work with Poly Urethane(PU), the improvement of adhesion is yielded by increasing surface roughness and decreasing Si component of PU.
