Starting with an ignitron switched pulser (1 pulse per 3 min) and an intermittent microwave plasma, we improved our PIII system developing a pulse forming network (PFN) based pulser (20 Hz), 2 years later. We also improved our plasma source towards a DC, highly stable, medium density glow discharge system. A much faster hard tube pulser was recently incorporated to our PIII system (670 Hz) allowing us to achieve good implantation results in different materials. Presently, we are testing a recently purchased RUP-4 commercial pulser to obtain are prevented, 1.1 kHz, square pulses for new experiments in this active field of PIII research.
