    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for efficiently operating an ion implanter which includes a charged particle accelerator in a high energy mode and in a low energy mode. The charged particle accelerator includes a high voltage power supply, an accelerator column coupled to the high voltage power supply and a switching assembly. The accelerator column includes a plurality of accelerator electrodes. The high voltage power supply is disabled from energizing the accelerator column in the low energy mode. The switching assembly includes switching elements for electrically connecting the accelerator electrodes to a reference potential in the low energy mode and for electrically isolating the accelerator electrodes from the reference potential in the high energy mode. The switching assembly prevents positive potentials on the accelerator electrodes and thus minimizes space charge expansion of the beam when transporting positive ion beams in the low energy mode.

    摘要: An ion beam microfabrication system is described which is capable of operating in either a flooded beam mode, in which a relatively high current beam is used to yield a rapid throughput, or in a low current, high resolution focused ion beam mode. With a focused beam a small, relatively low current ion spot is deflected in a predetermined pattern over a portion of the wafer to produce more detailed patterning that is not achievable in the flooded beam mode. A lens is added to the beam column to modify the beam collimation between the focused and flooded modes, and switching between modes is accomplished by simply actuating or de-actuating the lens. The beam is formed with a larger acceptance angle and total current in the flooded than the focused mode.

    摘要: A process for enhancing the wettability of evaporation elements, such as substrates and metal reservoirs used in liquid metal ion sources, and the elements so produced wherein a coating material is wettably coated onto the evaporation element at a coating temperature greater than the ion source operating temperature. The coated element is cooled to the operating temperature, and then contacted with the molten ion source alloy. The coating material is selected to wet the substrate or reservoir at the coating temperature, but to be itself wet by the ion source alloy at the ion source operating temperature. The preferred coating metal is gold, which is first applied by electrodeposition onto the evaporation element, and the evaporation element and coating are heated to a coating temperature of about 800.degree. C. to complete the coating step. The coated evaporation element is cooled to the source operating temperature of 200.degree. C.-300.degree. C. and dipped into the ion source alloy, which may be an alloy such as lead-gold-arsenic or lead-gold-antimony.

    摘要: A liquid metal ion source alloy for high vapor pressure metalloids, wherein the alloy composition is chosen to have a low melting point so that the vapor pressure of the volatile constituents is low, even in the liquid state. Specifically, the ion source alloy is an alloy selected from the group of (Pb.sub.0.7-1.0 Au.sub.0.3-0).sub.0.7-0.99 (As+Sb).sub.0.3-0.01 and Pb.sub.0.20-0.30 Au.sub.0.45-0.55 (As+Sb).sub.0.20-0.30. The melting points of these alloys are about 200.degree. C.-300.degree. C., and the alloys may be maintained molten in contact with the emission elements for long periods of time without significant loss of the volatile species or reactivity with typical substrate materials used for emission elements.

    摘要: In an ion beam apparatus a structure for controlling the surface potential of the target comprising an electron source adjacent to the beam for providing electrons to the beam and means between the target and source for inhibiting rectilinear radiations, i.e., electron and other particle and photon radiations between said source and said target. This prevents heating of the target by the electron source and cross-contamination between the source and the target. The apparatus further includes means for maintaining said shield means at a lower temperature than said target. A further structure is provided for the measurement of the ion beam current while controlling said surface potential of the target which includes: walls adjacent to and electrically insulated from the target and surrounding the beam whereby the walls and target provide a Faraday Cage, means for introducing variable quantities of electrons into the beam within the Faraday Cage, means for measuring the target current, means for combining and measuring the target and wall currents to provide said ion beam current measurement and means for varying the quantities of introduced electrons to control the target current and thereby the target surface potential. Likewise, this apparatus further includes means for maintaining said shielding means at a temperature lower than said target.
