Abstract: An ion implanter for manufacturing a single crystal film by extracting a hydrogen ion or a rare-gas ion from an ion source, selects a desired ion with a first sector electromagnet, scanning the ion with a scanner, collimates the ion with a second sector electromagnet, and implants it into a substrate; the ion source is configured to be located close to the entrance side focal point of the first sector electromagnet. In this case, when an aperture of an extraction section of the ion source is circular and entrance side focal points in a deflection surface and a surface perpendicular thereto in the first sector electromagnet are coincident, the ion beam after passing the first sector electromagnet becomes completely parallel in the two surfaces and the spot shape becomes a circle.

Abstract: A beam line before incidence on a beam scanner is arranged with an injector flag Faraday cup that detects a beam current by measuring a total beam amount of an ion beam to be able to be brought in and out thereto and therefrom. When the ion beam is shut off by placing the injector flag Faraday cup on a beam trajectory line, the ion beam impinges on graphite provided at the injector flag Faraday cup. At this occasion, even when the graphite is sputtered by the ion beam, since the injector flag Faraday cup is arranged on an upstream side of the beam scanner and the ion beam is shut off by the injector flag Faraday cup, particles of the sputtered graphite do not adhere to a peripheral member of the injector flag Faraday cup.
