Claim Text:
1. A method of making an ion optics component, comprising: providing an electrically isolating substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface, the second major surface opposite and substantially parallel to the first major surface; machining away material of the substrate from the first major surface to form features of a first electrode sub-assembly comprising a first surface for supporting integration of a first electrode body and a second surface for supporting integration of a second electrode body and machining away other material of the substrate from the first major surface to form features of at least one of an ion entrance lens and an ion exit lens; and plating and masking the first surface and the second surface of the first electrode sub-assembly to form the first electrode body on the first surface and to form the second electrode body on the second surface, the first electrode body being electrically isolated from the second electrode body, and a line normal to the first electrode body intersecting with a line normal to the second electrode body outside of the substrate.
