    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a process chamber, a platen positioned in the process chamber for supporting a workpiece, a source configured to generate a plasma in the process chamber having a plasma sheath adjacent to the front surface of the workpiece, and an insulating modifier. The insulting modifier is configured to control a shape of a boundary between the plasma and the plasma sheath so a portion of the shape of the boundary is not parallel to a plane defined by a front surface of the workpiece facing the plasma. Controlling the shape of the boundary between the plasma and the plasma sheath enables a large range of incident angles of particles striking the workpiece to be achieved.

    摘要: A method for treating a workpiece. The method includes directing a first ion beam to a first region of a workpiece, wherein the first ion beam has a first ion angular profile of first ions extracted through an aperture of an extraction plate. The method also includes directing a second ion beam to the first region of the workpiece, wherein the second ion beam has a second ion angular profile different than the first ion profile of second ions extracted through the aperture of the extraction plate.

    摘要: An ion source includes an arc chamber having an extraction aperture, and a plasma sheath modulator. The plasma sheath modulator is configured to control a shape of a boundary between plasma and a plasma sheath proximate the extraction aperture. The plasma sheath modulator may include a pair of insulators positioned in the arc chamber and spaced apart by a gap positioned proximate the extraction aperture. A well focused ion beam having a high current density can be generated by the ion source. A high current density ion beam can improve the throughput of an associated process. The emittance of the ion beam can also be controlled.

    摘要: An ion implantation apparatus including a first plasma chamber, a second plasma chamber and an extraction electrode disposed therebetween. The first and second plasma chambers configured to house respective plasmas in response to the introduction of a different feed gases therein. The extraction electrode is electrically isolated from the plasma chamber. An extraction voltage is applied to the first plasma chamber above a bias potential used to generate the plasma therein. The extraction voltage drives the plasma potential to accelerate the ions in the first plasma to a desired implant energy. The accelerated ions pass through an aperture in the extraction electrode and are directed toward a substrate housed within the second plasma chamber for implantation.
