Patent ID: 7139009

Claim:
An ion printer for simultaneous generation on the spatially fixed substrate of the whole image consisting of micron and submicron size elements, which contains in the chamber with vacuum pumping facilities the following coaxial parts: an ion beam source with a tool for beam forming, which ensures the divergence angle less than 20°, and with the first tool of acceleration of said ions in the said ion beam; a fixed substrate, which has on its surface facing to said ion source a layer of material capable of changing its properties under the influence of said accelerated ions of said ion beam; a said first acceleration tool, which provides to said ions of said beam the energy less than the needed for variation of the properties of said material on said surface of said substrate; a mask with parallel flat surfaces and with plurality of apertures for passing said ions to the said substrate placed between said ion beam source and said substrate; a said mask with parallel flat surfaces with a ratio of its thickness to the distance from the said mask to the said substrate equals to 1:(0.6–3), correspondingly; a said each of the said plurality of apertures with the ratio of its depth to its cross-section size being in the range from 9 to 50; a said each of the said plurality of apertures containing a tool for regulation of the passing of the said ions; a plurality of pairs of the first electrode and the second electrode, acting as a said tool for regulation of the passing of said accelerated ions to the said substrate; each pair of electrodes from the said plurality of pairs, placed in a said each of said plurality of said apertures; a second tool of acceleration of said ions placed under the said substrate for additional acceleration of said accelerated ions up to the energy required for variation of the properties of the said material on the said substrate; an electric voltage source connected to each said first electrode and to each said second electrode of each of plurality of said pairs; a plurality of controlled switchboards, each electrically connected to the said voltage source and placed between the said voltage source and each of the said second electrode from the said plurality of said pairs for selective regulation of electric voltage in each said aperture of said plurality of apertures and, correspondingly, for the controlled passing of said ions in each said apertures to the said substrate.
