    摘要: Techniques for plasma injection for space charge neutralization of an ion beam are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a plasma injection system for space charge neutralization of an ion beam. The plasma injection system may comprise a first array of magnets and a second array of magnets positioned along at least a portion of an ion beam path, the first array being on a first side of the ion beam path and the second array being on a second side of the ion beam path, the first side opposing the second side. At least two adjacent magnets in the first array of magnets may have opposite polarity. The plasma injection system may also comprise a plasma source configured to generate a plasma in a region associated with a portion of the ion beam path by colliding at least some electrons with a gas.

    摘要: An ion implantation system including a plasma source, a mask-slit, and a plasma chamber. The plasma source is configured to generate a plasma within the plasma chamber in response to the introduction of a gas therein. The mask-slit is electrically isolated from the plasma chamber. A positive voltage bias is applied to the plasma chamber above a bias potential used to generate the plasma. The positive voltage bias drives the plasma potential to accelerate the ions to a desired implant energy. The accelerated ions pass through an aperture in the mask-slit and are directed toward a substrate for implantation. The mask-slit is electrically isolated from the plasma chamber and is maintained at ground potential with respect to the plasma.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for ion implantation that include destabilizing the ion beam as it passes through magnetic field, preferably a dipole magnetic field is disclosed. By introducing a bias voltage at certain points within the magnetic field, electrons from the plasma are drawn toward the magnet, thereby causing the ion beam to expand due to space charge effects. The bias voltage can be introduced into the magnet in a region where the magnetic field has only one component. Alternatively, the bias voltage can be in a region wherein the magnetic field has two components.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for providing a low energy, high current ion beam for ion implantation applications are disclosed. The apparatus includes a mass analysis magnet mounted in a passageway along the path of an ion beam, a power source adapted to provide an electric field in the passageway, and a magnetic device adapted to provide a multi-cusped magnetic field in the passageway, which may include a plurality of magnets mounted along at least a portion of the passageway. The power source and the magnets may cooperatively interact to provide an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) condition along at least a portion of the passageway. The multi-cusped magnetic field may be superimposed on the dipole field at a specified field strength in a region of the mass analyzer passageway to interact with an electric field of a known RF or microwave frequency for a given low energy ion beam. The invention further comprises a mass analyzer waveguide adapted to couple the electric field to the beam plasma consistently along the length of the mass analyzer passageway to thereby improve the creation of the ECR condition. The invention thus provides enhancement of beam plasma within a mass analyzer dipole magnetic field for low energy ion beams without the introduction of externally generated plasma. The invention further includes a method of providing ion beam containment in a low energy ion implantation system, as well as an ion implantation system.
