The Bio-Nano ECRIS was designed for new materials production on nano-scale [1]. Our main target is the endohedral fullerene, which have potential in medical care, biotechnology and nanotechnology. In particular, iron-encapsulated fullerene can be applied as a contrast material for magnetic resonance imaging or microwave heat therapy. There are several promising approaches to produce the endohedral fullerenes using an ECRIS. One of them is the ion-ion collision reaction of fullerenes and aliens ions to be encapsulated in the mixture plasma of them. Another way is the shooting of ion beam into a pre-prepared fullerene layer. In this study, the new device configuration of the Bio-Nano ECRIS is reported which allows the application of both methods. The plasma chamber is divided into two chambers by installing mesh electrodes. In the gas injection-side 1st chamber at 2.45 GHz plasmas (N₂, Ar, He, Fe,) are produced on the usual way. These ions then are extracted to the 2nd chamber where an evaporation boat for fullerene is installed. The fullerene neutrals can be ionized (using 10 GHz in the 2nd chamber) and are deposited on a large plasma electrode where they are continuously irradiated by the ions from the 1st chamber. The ions produced either in the 1st or 2nd chamber can be in-situ extracted and analyzed. The basic concept and the preliminary results using Ar gas and N₂ gas plasmas will be presented.
