Ion implantation with high brightness, ion beam by ionizing gas or vapor, e.g. of dimers, or decaborane, by direct electron impact ionization adjacent the outlet aperture (46, 176) of the ionization chamber (80; 175)). Preferably: conditions are maintained that produce a substantial ion density and limit the transverse kinetic energy of the ions to less than 0.7 eV; width of the ionization volume adjacent the aperture is limited to width less than about three times the width of the aperture; the aperture is extremely elongated; magnetic fields are avoided or limited; low ion beam noise is maintained; conditions within the ionization chamber are maintained that prevent formation of an arc discharge. With ion beam optics, such as the batch implanter of Figure (20), or in serial implanters, ions from the ion source are transported to a target surface and implanted; advantageously, in some cases, in conjunction with acceleration-deceleration beam lines employing cluster ion beams. Also disclosed are electron gun constructions, ribbon sources for electrons and ionization chamber configurations. Forming features of semiconductor devices, e.g. drain extensions of CMOS devices, and doping of flat panels are shown.

Thermal control is provided for an extraction electrode of an ion-beam producing system that prevents formation of deposits and unstable operation and enables use with ions produced from condensable vapors and with ion sources capable of cold and hot operation. Electrical heating of the extraction electrode is employed for extracting decaborane or octadecaborane ions. Active cooling during use with a hot ion source prevents electrode destruction, permitting the extraction electrode to be of heat-conductive and fluorine-resistant aluminum composition.

摘要:
A method is proposed for the fabrication of the gate electrode of a semiconductor device such that the effects of gate depletion are minimized. The method is comprised of a dual deposition process wherein the first step is a very thin layer that is doped very heavily by ion implantation. The second deposition, with an associated ion implant for doping, completes the gate electrode. With the two-deposition process, it is possible to maximize the doping at the gate electrode/gate dielectric interface while minimizing risk of boron penetration of the gate dielectric. A further development of this method includes the patterning of both gate electrode layers with the advantage of utilizing the drain extension and source/drain implants as the gate doping implants and the option of offsetting the two patterns to create an asymmetric device. A method is also provided for the formation of shallow junctions in a semiconductor substrate by diffusion of dopant from an implanted layer contained within a dielectric layer into the semiconductor surface. Further, the ion implanted layer is provided with a second implanted species, such as hydrogen, in addition to the intended dopant species, wherein said species enhances the diffusivity of the dopant in the dielectric layer.
