No. 10/866,645, filed Jun. 10, 2004, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/321,822, filed Dec. 16, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,806,463, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/358,312 filed Jul. 21, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,495,823. The entire teachings of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates to a Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility (FAIM) filter, and more particularly, to a micromachined FAIM filter and spectrometer.
- The ability to detect and identify explosives, drugs, chemical and biological agents as well as air quality has become increasingly more critical given increasing terrorist and military activities and environmental concerns. Previous detection of such agents was accomplished with conventional mass spectrometers, time of flight ion mobility spectrometers and conventionally machined FAIM spectrometers.
- Mass spectrometers are very sensitive, highly selective and provide a fast response time. Mass spectrometers, however, are large and require significant amounts of power to operate. They also require a powerful vacuum pump to maintain a high vacuum in order to isolate the ions from neutral molecules and permit detection of the selected ions, and are also very expensive.
- Another spectrometric technique which is less complex is time of flight ion mobility spectrometry which is the method currently implemented in most portable chemical weapons and explosives detectors. The detection is based not solely on mass, but on charge and cross-section of the molecule as well. However, because of these different characteristics, molecular species identification is not as conclusive and accurate as the mass spectrometer. Time of flight ion mobility spectrometers typically have unacceptable resolution and sensitivity limitations when attempting to reduce their size, that is a drift tube length less than 2 inches. In time of flight ion mobility, the resolution is proportional to the length of the drift tube. The longer the tube the better the resolution, provided the drift tube is also wide enough to prevent all ions from being lost to the side walls due to diffusion. Thus, fundamentally, miniaturization of time of flight ion mobility systems leads to a degradation in system performance. While these devices are relatively inexpensive and reliable, they suffer from several limitations. First, the sample volume through the detector is small, so to increase spectrometer sensitivity either the detector electronics must have extremely high sensitivity, requiring expensive electronics, or a concentrator is required, adding to system complexity. In addition, a gate and gating electronics are usually needed to control the injection of ions into the drift tube.
- FAIM spectrometry was developed in the former Soviet Union in the 1980's. FAIM spectrometry allows a selected ion to pass through a filter while blocking the passage of undesirable ions. Conventional FAIM spectrometers are large and expensive, e.g., the entire device is nearly a cubic foot in size and costs over $25,000. These systems are not suitable for use in applications requiring small detectors. They are also relatively slow, taking as much as one minute to produce a complete spectrum of the sample gas, are difficult to manufacture and are not mass producible.
- It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a FAIM filter and detection system which can more quickly and accurately control the flow of selected ions to produce a sample spectrum than conventional FAIM devices.
- It is a further object of this invention to provide such a filter and detection system which can detect multiple pre-selected ions without having to sweep the bias voltage.
- It is a further object of this invention to provide such a filter and detection system which can even detect selected ions without a bias voltage.
- It is a further object of this invention to provide such a filter and detection system which can detect ions spatially based on the ions' trajectories.
- It is a further object of this invention to provide such a filter and detection system which has a very high resolution.
- It is a further object of this invention to provide such a filter and detection system which can detect selected ions faster than conventional detection devices.
- It is a further object of this invention to provide such a filter and detection system which has a sensitivity of parts per billion to parts per trillion.
- It is a further object of this invention to provide such a filter and detections system which may be packaged in a single chip.
- It is further object of this invention to provide such filter and detection system which is cost effective to implement and produce.
- The invention results from the realization that an extremely small, accurate and fast FAIM filter and detection system can be achieved by defining a flow path between a sample inlet and an outlet using a pair of spaced substrates and disposing an ion filter within the flow path, the filter including a pair of spaced electrodes, one electrode associated with each substrate and a controller for selectively applying a bias voltage and an asymmetric periodic voltage across the electrodes to control the path of ions through the filter.
- The invention results from the further realization that by providing an array of filters, each filter associated with a different bias voltage, the filter may be used to detect multiple selected ions without sweeping the bias voltage.
- The invention results from the realization that by varying the duty cycle of the periodic voltage, no bias voltage is required.

-
FAIM spectrometer 10,FIG. 1 , operates by drawing a gas, indicated byarrow 12, viapump 14, throughinlet 16 intoionization region 18. The ionized gas is passed betweenparallel electrode plates ion filter 24, followingflow path 26. As the gas ions pass betweenplates electrode plates voltage generator 28 in response to electronic controller - As ions pass through
filter 24, some are neutralized byplates detector 32.Detector 32 includes atop electrode 33 at a predetermined voltage and abottom electrode 35, typically at ground.Top electrode 33 deflects ions downward toelectrode 35. However either electrode may detect ions depending on the ion and the voltage applied to the electrodes. Moreover, Multiple ions may be detected by usingtop electrode 33 as one detector andbottom electrode 35 as a second detector.Electronic controller 30 may include for example,amplifier 34 andmicroprocessor 36.Amplifier 34 amplifies the output ofdetector 32, which is a function of the charge collected bydetector 34, and provides the output tomicroprocessor 36 for analysis. Similarly,amplifier 34′, shown in phantom, may be provided whereelectrode 33 is also utilized as a detector. - As
ions 38,FIG. 2 , pass through alternating asymmetricelectric field 40, which is transverse togas flow 12,electric field 40, causes the ions to “wiggle” alongpaths Field 40 is typically in the range of ±(1000-2000) volts dc and has a maximum field strength of 40,000 V/cm. The path taken by a particular ion is a function of its mass, size, cross-section and charge. Once an ion reacheselectrode compensation field 44, typically in the range of ±2000 V/cm or ±100 volts dc, is concurrently induced betweenelectrodes plates voltage generator 28,FIG. 1 , in response tomicroprocessor 36 to enable a preselected ion species to pass throughfilter 24 todetector 32.Compensation field 44 is a constant bias which offsets alternatingasymmetric field 40 to allow the preselected ions, such asion 38 c to pass todetector 32. Thus, with the proper bias voltage, a particular species of ion will followpath 42 c while undesirable ions will followpaths electrode plates - The output of
FAIM spectrometer 10 is a measure of the amount of charge ondetector 32 for a givenbias voltage 44. Thelonger filter 24 is set at a given compensation bias voltage, the more charge will accumulate ondetector 32. However, by sweepingcompensation voltage 44 over a predetermined voltage range, a complete spectrum for sample gas 23 can be achieved. The FAIM spectrometer according to the present invention requires typically less than thirty seconds and as little as one second to produce a complete spectrum for a given gas sample. - By varying
compensation bias voltage 44 the species to be detected can be varied to provide a complete spectrum of the gas sample. For example, with a bias voltage of −3.5 volts acetone was detected as demonstrated byconcentration peaks 46,FIG. 3A in concentrations as low as 83 parts per billion. In contrast, at a bias voltage of −6.5 volts, diethyl methyl amine, peaks 48,FIG. 3B , was detected in concentrations as low as 280 parts per billion. -
Filter 24,FIG. 4 , is on the order of one inch is size.Spectrometer 10 includes spacedsubstrates electrodes substrates Substrates spacers spacers electrodes electric field 58, which guides or confines the ions' paths to the center offlow path 26. This increases the sensitivity of the system by preserving more ions so that more ions strikedetector 34. However, this is not a necessary limitation of the invention. - To maintain accurate and reliable operation of
spectrometer 10, neutralized ions which accumulate onelectrode plates heating flow path 26. For example,controller 30,FIG. 1 , may includecurrent source 29, shown in phantom, which provides, in response tomicroprocessor 36, a current I to electrodeplates spacer electrodes FIG. 4 , to heatflow path 26 andclean plates - Packaged
FAIM spectrometer 10,FIG. 5 , may be reduced in size to one inch by one inch by one inch.Pump 14 is mounted onsubstrate 52 for drawing agas sample 12 intoinlet 16. Clean dry air may be introduced intoflow path 26,FIG. 1 , byrecirculation pump 14 a prior to or after ionization of the gas sample.Electronic controller 30 may be etched intosilicon control layer 60 which combines withsubstrates spectrometer 10.Substrates control layer 60 may be bonded together, for example, using anodic bonding, to provide an extremely small FAIM spectrometer. Micro pumps 14 and 14 a provide a high volume thoughput which further expedites the analysis ofgas sample 12.Pumps pump 14 is available from Sensidyne, Inc., Clearwater, Fla. - While the FAIM spectrometer according to the present invention quickly produces a spectrum for a particular gas sample, the time for doing so may be further reduced with an array of
filters 32.FAIM spectrometer 10,FIG. 6 , may includefilter array 62, asingle inlet 16 andsingle flow path 26. Sample gas 23 is guided by confining electrodes 56 a-h to filterarray 62 after passing byionization source 18, which may include an ultraviolet light source, a radioactive device or corona discharge device.Filter array 62 includes, for example, pairedfilter electrodes 20 a-d and 22 a-e and may simultaneously detect different ion species by applying a differentcompensation bias voltage 44,FIG. 2 , to each electrode pair and sweeping each electrode pair over a different voltage range greatly reducing the sweep time. However,array 62 may include any number of filters depending on the size of the spectrometer.Detector array 64, which includesdetectors 32 a-e, detects multiple selected ion species simultaneously, thereby reduce the time necessary to obtain a spectrum of thegas sample 12. The electrode pairs share the same asymmetricperiodic ac voltage 40. - Clean dry air may be introduced into
flow path 26 throughclean air inlet 66 viarecirculator pump 14 a,FIG. 5 . Drawing in clean dry air assists in reducing the FAIM spectrometer's sensitivity to humidity. Moreover, if the spectrometer is operated without clean dry air and a known gas sample is introduced in the device, the device can be used as a humidity sensor since the resulting spectrum will change with moisture concentration from the standardized spectrum for the given sample. - However, rather than each
filter 32 a-e offilter array 62 sharing thesame flow path 26,individual flow paths 26 a-e,FIG. 7 , may be provided so that each flow path has associated with it, for example,inlet 16 a,ionization region 18 a, confiningelectrodes 56 a′, 56 b′, ionfilter electrode pair detector electrode pair port 68 a. - In operation,
sample gas 12 enterssample inlet 16 a,FIG. 8 , and is ionized by, for example, acorona discharge device 18 a. The ionized sample is guided towardsion filter 24 a by confiningelectrodes 56 a. As ions pass betweenion filter electrodes filter 24 a to be detected bydetector 32 a. - As shown in
FIG. 9 , multiple, simultaneous detections were made of Benzene, peaks 50 and acetone peaks 51, demonstrating the advantage of the arrayed filters and detectors according to the present invention. - It has also been found that a compensation bias voltage is not necessary to detect a selected specie or species of ion. By varying the duty cycle of the asymmetric periodic voltage applied to
electrodes filter 24,FIG. 10 , there is no need to apply a constant bias voltage to plateelectrodes Voltage generator 28, in response to controlelectronics 30 varies the duty cycle of asymmetric alternatingvoltage 40. By varying the duty cycle ofperiodic voltage 40,FIG. 11 , the path of selected ion 32 c may be controlled. As an example, rather than a limitation, the duty cycle offield 40 may be one quarter: 25% high,peak 70, and 75% low,valley 72, andion 38 c approachesplate 20 to be neutralized. However, by varying the duty cycle ofvoltage 40 a to 40%, peak 70 a,ion 38 c passes throughplates field 40, an ion's path may be controlled without the need of a bias voltage. - To improve FAIM spectrometry resolution even further,
detector 32,FIG. 12 , may be segmented. Thus as ions pass throughfilter 24 betweenfilter electrodes individual ions 38 c′-38 c″″ may be detected spatially, the ions having theirtrajectories 42′-42′″ determined according to their size, charge and cross section. Thusdetector segment 32′ will have one a concentration of one species of ion whiledetector segment 32″ will have a different ion species concentration, increasing the spectrum resolution as each segment may detect a particular ion species. - Although specific features of the invention are shown in some drawings and not in others, this is for convenience only as each feature may be combined with any or all of the other features in accordance with the invention.
