Abstract:
The invention provides a bias voltage to the component (such as the Faraday cup) for reducing the generation of particles, such as the implanted ions and/or the combination of the implanted ions and the material of the component, and preventing particles peeling away the component. The strength of the biased voltage should not significantly affect the implantation of ions into the wafer and should significantly prevent the emission of radiation and/or electrons away the biased component. How to provide and adjust the biased voltage is not limited, both the extra voltage source and the amended Pre-Amplifier are acceptable. Moreover, due to the electric field generated by the Faraday cup is modified by the biased voltage, the ion beam divergence close to the Faraday cup may be reduced such that the potential difference between the ion beam measured by the profiler and received by the Faraday cup may be minimized.
