    Abstract: A focused ion beam system is offered which can make a focal adjustment without relying on the structure of a sample while suppressing damage to the sample to a minimum. Also, a method of making this focal adjustment is offered. The focused ion beam system has an ion source for producing an ion beam, a lens system for focusing the beam onto the sample, a detector for detecting secondary electrons emanating from the sample, and a controller for controlling the lens system. The controller is operative to provide control such that the sample is irradiated with the ion beam without scanning the beam and that a focus of the ion beam is varied by varying the intensity of the objective lens during the ion beam irradiation. Also, the controller measures the intensity of a signal indicating secondary electrons emanating from the sample while the intensity of the objective lens is being varied. Furthermore, the controller makes a focal adjustment of the ion beam on the basis of the intensity of the objective lens obtained when the measured intensity of the signal indicating secondary electrons is minimal.

    Abstract: A method of implanting carbon ions into a target substrate, including: ionizing a carbon containing dopant material to produce a plasma having ions; optionally co-flowing an additional gas or series of gases with the carbon-containing dopant material; and implanting the ions into the target substrate. The carbon-containing dopant material is of the formula CwFxOyHz wherein if w=1, then x>0 and y and z can take any value, and wherein if w>1 then x or y is >0, and z can take any value. Such method significantly improves the efficiency of an ion implanter tool, in relation to the use of carbon source gases such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.

    Abstract: A method of achieving ion beam uniformity control using ion beam blockers. The method includes generating an ion beam, detecting a current profile of said ion beam with an ion beam blocker unit, wherein said detected current profile is an initial current profile, blocking a portion of said ion beam with said ion beam blocker unit to achieve a second current profile that is different from the initial current profile, and implanting said ion beam into a workpiece after said blocking.
