Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plurality of detectors which detect electrons passed through a sample.SOLUTION: Preferably, a detector detects an electron which passed through a prism that separates electrons according to the energy thereof. Electrons in different energy ranges are then detected by different detectors. Preferably, one of these detectors measures the energy lost by a sample when the electron passes through the sample. According to one embodiment, EELS is provided in core-loss electron, and a bright field STEM signal from a low-loss electron is supplied simultaneously.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method for selecting and transmitting a plurality of species of charged particles having necessary parameters (mass, energy, valence). SOLUTION: Two parallel ion beams 1701 are generated with a spacing from a symmetry center face 1702, and are made to advance into a module provided between planes 1700. These ion beams are deflected on a surface parallel to the symmetry center face, and pass obliquely through a fringe magnetic field of a row of bodies 1716 of a permanent magnet. A plurality of species of necessary ions having different values of parameters reach a series of focuses 1708-1711 and are transmitted through resolution structures (aperture of 1707, and resolution aperture between 1705-1706), and exit from the row of bodies of the magnet at both sides of a beam stopper 1704. Since the two beams are arranged with a spacing in substance, (1) a plurality of species of ions can be transmitted, (2) transmission of protons being a light-weight ion can be prevented, and (3) beam current of about two times of conventional one can be provided.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid deflector for reducing energy contamination in ion implantation, and to provide a deflection method of ion beam. SOLUTION: The hybrid deflector 500 for an ion implantation system is composed of a magnetic deflection module 350 which works to deflect ion beam from a beam axis, an electrostatic deflection module 504 which works to deflect the ion beam from the beam axis, and a controller 304 which, based on one or a plurality of input controlling signals, operates either the magnetic deflection module or the electrostatic deflection module selectively. The deflection method of ion beam includes a step in which one or a plurality of characteristics of beam are identified and a step in which, based on the identification, either of the magnetic deflection module or the electrostatic deflection module are operated selectively.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ion implantation apparatus and an ion implantation method for performing ion implantation with a different implantation energy for each area of a wafer so as to obtain nonuniform ion implantation energy. SOLUTION: The ion implantation apparatus comprises: an ion beam source 110 emitting an ion beam; an implantation energy adjuster 120 for creating an ion beam with a relatively low, first implantation energy during a first period of time and creating an ion beam with a relatively high, second implantation energy during a second period of time; a beam line 130 for accelerating the ion beam adjusted in implantation energy; and an end station 140 for moving the wafer 150 vertically with respect to the ion beam, implanting the ion beam of the first implantation energy into a first area of the wafer 150 and implanting the ion beam of the second implantation energy into a second area of the wafer.
