10. A method of manufacturing a microelectronics, comprising:
-
coupling an ion source and an ion detector to a substrate; coupling a pair of grid electrodes to the substrate on opposing sides of a central axis of the ion source; and coupling a plurality of ion reflection lenses to the substrate in series such that the grid electrodes interpose the ion source and the plurality of ion reflection lenses; wherein the ion reflection lenses each have a thickness ranging between about 5 μ
m and about 100 μ
mwherein the grid electrodes and the ion reflection lenses are electrically biased to collectively direct ions emitted from the ion source to travel through the grid electrodes and the ion reflection lenses back towards the ion detector. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
