大面积重离子微孔膜离子辐照均匀性模拟研究

Simulation of Ion Irradiation Uniformity for Large-scale Ion Track Membrane

  • 摘要: 重离子辐照在半导体、医疗、材料和生物等多个领域有着广泛应用,而辐照的均匀性则是许多相关应用的关键指标,例如重离子微孔膜,其微孔分布的均匀性直接由辐照的均匀性决定。重离子微孔膜具备孔径均匀、孔密度可控和孔道笔直等优良特性,具有良好的应用前景。目前,快速辐照大面积重离子微孔膜的设备,如兰州重离子加速器高通量核孔膜终端(HIRFL-TR3)已经建成,其通过连续传动宽幅薄膜,同时进行重离子辐照实现高效率的连续生产。在磁扫描能力存在极限的情况下,对于宽幅、连续运动的薄膜,如何保障离子辐照的均匀性成为了亟需研究的问题。本文开发了基于路径积分的模拟程序以计算重离子微孔膜的辐照注量分布。结果表明,扫描频率越高,扫描幅度越小以及束斑对称性越好时,辐照结果越均匀。对于匀速传动辐照,如采用垂直于束流方向的二维磁扫描,则存在一系列离散的耦合速度使辐照结果达到均匀,而偏离耦合速度,可能导致注量分布出现周期性起伏。对于束斑形状不理想、束流强度不稳定的情况,选取较低的耦合速度和特定的扫描频率组合可以有效提高均匀性;当所需求的注量误差和提供的束流强度确定时,可以通过本文提供的公式计算传动辐照所需的传动速度并判断此时更适用一维扫描或二维扫描。本研究利用模拟研究了重离子辐照均匀性的问题,其结果可为相关研究和生产提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Heavy ion irradiation has a wide range of applications in many fields such as semiconductor, medical, materials and biological, etc., and the uniformity of irradiation is the key index for many related applications, such as ion track membranes, whose uniformity of microporous distribution is directly determined by the uniformity of irradiation. Ion track membranes have excellent characteristics such as uniform pore size, controllable pore density and straight pore channels, which have good application prospects. At present, equipment for rapid production of large-area ion track membranes, such as the High Flux Irradiation Terminal of the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL-TR3), has already been constructed, which realizes high-efficiency continuous production through continuous transmission of wide-area films and simultaneous heavy-ion irradiation. With the limit of magnetic scanning capability, guaranteeing the uniformity of ion irradiation for wide, continuously moving films has become an urgent research issue. In this paper, a simulation program based on path integral is developed to simulate the ion fluence distribution in ion track membrane. The results show that the higher the scanning frequency, the smaller the scanning amplitude and the better the beam spot symmetry, the more uniform the irradiation results. For irradiation on membrane whose transmission is at constat velocity, such as using two-dimensional magnetic scanning perpendicular to the direction of the beam current, there will exist a series of discrete coupling velocities to make the irradiation results uniform, and deviation from the coupling velocities may lead to periodic ups and downs in the ion fluence distribution. For the case where the beam spot shape is not ideal and the beam intensity is unstable, selecting a lower coupling speed and a specific scan frequency combination can effectively improve the uniformity; when the ion fluence deviation tolerance and the beam intensity are determined, the formula provided in this paper can be used to calculate the transmission speed required for the irradiation and to determine whether one-dimensional scanning or two-dimensional scanning is more applicable. In this study, the problem of uniformity of heavy ion irradiation has been investigated theoretically, and the results can provide a reference for related research and for ion track membrane production.
