In JT-60SA for the fusion experiment, 22A, 100s D ions are designed to be extracted from the world largest ion extraction area of 450 mm 1100 mm. One of the key issues for producing such as high current beams is to improve non-uniform production of the negative ions. In order to improve the uniformity of the negative ions, a tent-shaped magnetic filter has newly been developed and tested for JT-60SA negative ion source. The non-uniformity of the negative ions is experimentally found to be caused by a localization of H ions and H atoms, which are produced by primary electrons emitted from filaments and are converted to H ions on the surface of plasma grids covered with cesium. By modifying from the conventional magnetic filter to the tent-shaped one, the uniform areas were expanded from 45% of the full extraction areas in the conventional magnetic filter to 60%. Finally, 22A production of the negative ion beams was successfully achieved in the uniform areas.
