A novel technique utilizing the precision of printed circuit board design and the physical versatility of thin, fexible substrates is disclosed to produce a new type of ion reflector. A precisely defined series of thin conductive strips (traces) are etched onto a flat, flexible circuit board substrate. Preferably, the thin conductive strips are further apart at one end of the substrate and get increasingly closer towards the other end of the substrate. The flexible substrate is then rolled into a tube to form the reflector body, with the conductive strips forming the rings of the ion reflector. The spacing between the traces, and hence the ring spacing, can be readily varied by adjusting the conductor pattern on the substrate sheet during the etching process. By adjusting the spacing between the rings, the characteristics of the field created by the reflectron can be easily customized to the needs of the user.

Cette invention concerne une nouvelle technique faisant appel à la précision de conception des circuits imprimés à la polyvalence de substrats minces et souples pour produire un nouveau type de réflecteur d'ions. Une série de minces bandes conductrices (traces) définies avec précision est gravée sur un substrat plat et souple de circuit imprimé. Ces bandes conductrices minces vont de préférence en s'écartant à l'une des extrémités du substrat et en se resserrant à l'autre extrémité de ce substrat. Le substrat souple est ensuite roulé en forme de tube qui formera le corps de réflecteur, les bandes conductrices constituant les anneaux du réflecteur d'ions. On peut facilement faire varier l'écartement entre ces traces, et donc entre les anneaux, en ajustant le motif conducteur sur la feuille de substrat pendant le processus de gravage. En jouant sur l'espacement des anneaux, on peut adapter facilement les caractéristiques du champ créé par le réflecteur en fonction des besoins de l'utilisateur.
