A gas manifold includes an input that is coupled to an output of a gas source and at least one output that is coupled to the plurality of apertures in the outer surface of the drum. The gas manifold provides gas to the plurality of apertures that flows between the outer surface of the drum and the web substrate, thereby increasing heat transfer from the web substrate to the drum. At least one deposition source is positioned so that material deposits on the web substrate.

    摘要: A sensor positioned relative to an ion beam for use in an ion implantation system for doping semiconductor wafers. The sensor allows relatively accurate determination of ion beam potential so that steps can be taken to minimize this potential. In a preferred design, a number of electrodes are positioned relative the ion beam and biased at control voltages which allow the ion beam potential to be determined. In one embodiment, the ion beam potential is used to control injection of neutralizing electrons into the ion beam.

    摘要: Described is a linear batch CVD system that includes a deposition chamber, one or more substrate carriers, gas injectors and a heating system. Each substrate carrier is disposed in the deposition chamber and has at least one receptacle configured to receive a substrate. The substrate carriers are configured to hold substrates in a linear configuration. Each gas injector includes a port configured to supply a gas in a uniform distribution across one or more of the substrates. The heating system includes at least one heating element and a heating control module for uniformly controlling a temperature of the substrates. The system is suitable for high volume CVD processing of substrates. The narrow width of the deposition chamber enables a uniform distribution of precursor gases across the substrates along the length of the reaction chamber and permits a greater number of substrates to be processed in comparison to conventional deposition chambers.

    摘要: Methods and devices for forming an ultra-thin doping layer in a semiconductor substrate include introducing a thin film of a dopant onto a surface of the substrate and driving at least a portion of the thin dopant layer into a surface of the semiconductor. Gas ions used in the driving-in process may be inert to minimize contamination during the drive in process. The thin films can be deposited using know methods, such as physical deposition and atomic layer deposition. The dopant layers can be driven into the surface of the semiconductor using known techniques, such as pulsed plasma discharge and ion beam. In some embodiments, a standard ion implanter can be retrofit to include a deposition source.
