    摘要: Methods and carbon ion precursor compositions for implanting carbon ions generally includes vaporizing and ionizing a gas mixture including carbon oxide and methane gases in an ion source to create a plasma and produce carbon ions. The ionized carbon within the plasma is then extracted to form an ion beam. The ion beam is mass analyzed with a mass analyzer magnet to permit the ionized carbon to pass therethrough and implant into a workpiece.

    摘要: An electrostatic clamp (ESC), system, and method for clamping a workpiece is provided. A clamping plate of the ESC has central disk and an annulus encircling the central disk, wherein the central disk is recessed from the annulus by a gap distance, therein defining a volume. Backside gas delivery apertures are positioned proximate to an interface between the annulus and the central disk. A first voltage to a first electrode of the annulus clamps a peripheral region of the workpiece to a first layer. A second voltage to a second electrode of the central disk generally compensates for a pressure of a backside gas within the volume. The ESC can be formed of J-R- or Coulombic-type materials. A cooling plate associated with the clamping plate further provides cooling by one or more cooling channels configured to route a cooling fluid therethrough.

    摘要: An ion implantation system provides ions to a workpiece positioned in a process environment of a process chamber on a sub-ambient temperature chuck. An intermediate chamber having an intermediate environment is in fluid communication with an external environment and has a cooling station and heating station for cooling and heating the workpiece. A load lock chamber is provided between the process chamber and intermediate chamber to isolate the process environment from the intermediate environment. A positive pressure source provides a dry gas within the intermediate chamber at dew point that is less than a dew point of the external environment to the intermediate chamber. The positive pressure source isolates the intermediate environment from the external environment via a flow of the dry gas from the intermediate chamber to the external environment.

    摘要: One embodiment relates to an ion implanter. The ion implanter includes an ion source to generate an ion beam, as well as a scanner to scan the ion beam across a surface of a workpiece. The ion implanter also includes an array of absorption and radiation elements arranged to absorb energy of the scanned ion beam and radiate at least some of the absorbed energy away from the propagation direction. A detection element (e.g., an infrared detector) is arranged to detect energy (e.g., in the form of heat) radiated by the array of absorption and radiation elements and to determine a beam profile of the scanned ion beam based on the detected energy.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for declamping a semiconductor wafer that is electrically adhered to a surface of an electrostatic chuck by a clamping voltage. In this method, the clamping voltage is deactivated. For a time following the deactivation, a first region of the wafer is lifted an first distance from the surface of the electrostatic chuck while a second region of the wafer remains adhered to the surface of the electrostatic chuck. A predetermined condition is monitored during the time. The second region is lifted from the surface of the electrostatic chuck when the predetermined condition is met.

    摘要: An electrostatic chuck and method for clamping and de-clamping a workpiece is provided. The ESC comprises a clamping plate having a clamping surface, and one or more electrodes. An electric potential applied to the one or more electrodes selectively clamps the workpiece to the clamping surface. An arc pin operably coupled to the clamping plate and a power source provides an arc for penetrating an insulating layer of the workpiece. The arc pin is selectively connected to an electrical ground, wherein upon removal of the insulative layer of the workpiece, the arc pin provides an electrical ground connection to the workpiece.
