a) SLIM “tee” switch unit with inset showing zoomed view of the intersection region. Green and black colored electrodes represent the “rung” electrodes with positive and negative phase of RF respectively. b) 3D view of the SLIM tee with co-ordinate system c) Contour plot showing the DC voltages applied in the SLIM tee for turning ions, with the “guard” electrode biased 5 V above their corresponding first rung electrode. The profile along the Z-axis show the voltage at y = 5 mm (red, along the guard) and at Y = 10 mm (green, along the rungs). The profile along the Y-axis show the voltages at Z = 46 mm (red, along the guards) and at Z = 40 mm (green, along the rungs).
