SBIR / Phase-I / CREARECreare
Under a KSC-sponsored SBIR, Creare Inc. is building a highlyruggedized version of a recently developed 5 L/s turbomolecularpumpMiniaturized and rugged high vacuum systems are needed to complement recently developed portable mass spectrometersA key innovation of the new version is an “inside-out” electric motor that replaces the typical cantilevered rotor with one supported at both top and bottom, providing high tolerance to vibration and shockThe TMP will be combined with a modified version of a commercial rough pump to form a complete vacuum system

Source-grid design with double/triple stack MCP electron current multiplier
1. Operation efficiency: comparable to that of the filament ionizer with 100nA electron emission current.2. Emission current stability about 3%.
Performance update
1. High gain/high maximum output (up to 100 µA) single channel electron current multiplier will be used.
2. High tension grid will be utilized in order to improve the emission stability.
3. Extra multiplication stage will be added if necessary.
