This invention discloses an ion implantation apparatus that has an ion source and an ion extraction device for extracting an ion beam therefrom. The ion implantation apparatus includes an ion beam sweeping-and-deflecting device disposed immediately next to the ion extraction device. The ion implantation apparatus further includes a magnetic analyzer for guiding the ion beam passed through the deflecting-and-sweeping device. The mass analyzer is also used for selecting ions with specific mass-to-charge ratio to pass through a mass slit to project onto a substrate. The sweeping-and-deflecting device is applied to deflect the ion beam to project through the magnetic mass analyzer and the mass slit for sweeping the ion beam over a surface of the substrate to carry out an ion implantation.

A method and system for processing wafers is disclosed. According to one embodiment (100) a chuck system (102) may be situated opposite to an input source (104). A chuck system (102) may apply a force (e.g., mechanical and/or electromagnetic) that deforms a substrate (108). Once deformed, essentially all of a substrate (108) may be oriented at a predetermined angle (e.g., 90°) with respect to an input source (104).

A filament (18) for an ion implanter ion source or plasma shower is provided comprising first and second legs (20a, 20b) and a thermally emissive central portion (40) having ends connected, respectively, to the first and second legs. Preferably, the legs (20a, 20b) are constructed from tantalum (Ta), and the thermally emissive portion (40) is constructed of tungsten (W). The thermally emissive portion is coiled substantially along the entire length thereof and formed in the shape of a generally closed loop, such as a toroid. The toroid is comprised of two toroid halves (40a, 40b) coiled in opposite directions. The toroid halves are constructed of a plurality of filament strands (42, 44, 46) twisted together along substantially the entire length thereof. The coils of the toroid are capable of establishing closed loop magnetic field lines (B) therein when electrical current flows through the thermally emissive portion. The closed loop magnetic field lines (B) confine electrons (E) emitted from the surface of the thermally emissive portion within the confines of the coils.

Method and apparatus for maintaining an ion beam along a beam path from an ion source to an ion implantation station where workpieces are treated with the ion beam. An ion beam neutralizer is positioned upstream from the ion treatment station and includes confinement structure which bounds the ion beam path. An electron source positioned within the confinement structure emits electrons into the ion beam. An array of magnets supported by the confinement structure creates a magnetic field which tends to confine the electrons moving within the confinement structure. An interior magnetic filter field is created inside the confinement structure by a plurality of axially elongated filter rods having encapsulated magnets bounding the ion beam and oriented generally parallel to the ion beam path. This interior magnetic field confines higher energy electrons from leaving the ion beam path and permits lower energy electrons to drift along the ion beam.

A method and system for fast handover in hierarchical mobile IPv6 includes: a mobile node which transmits a proxy route request message to a previous access router of the mobile node according to a handover expectation provided by the link layer, the previous access router transmits a network prefix information of a new access router of the mobile node to the mobile node; the mobile node which generates new care-of address according to the network prefix information; after the mobile node moves to a target network, an optimistic duplicate address detection is performed on the care-of address. The disclosure can simplify the handover procedure of hierarchical mobile IPV6 of the mobile node, reduce the signaling interaction in handover process, and shorten handover delay.

An implanter is equipped with an ion beam current detector, a temperature sensor, a temperature controller and a cooling system to increase the ratio of a specific ion cluster in the ion source chamber of the implanter. Therefore, the implanting efficiency for a shallow ion implantation is increased consequently.

The present invention provides a windowframe magnet having an aligned array of paired bedstead coils in mirror symmetry can bend a high aspect ratio ribbon ion beam through angle of not less than about 45 degrees and not more than about 110 degrees, and can focus it through a resolving slot for mass analysis. The long transverse axis of the beam, which can exceed 50% of the bend radius, is aligned with the generated magnetic field. The array of paired bedstead coils provide tight control of the fringing fields, present intrinsically good field uniformity, and enable a manufacture of much lighter construction than other magnet styles conventionally in use in the ion implantation industry.Within the system of the present invention, the ribbon beam is refocused with low aberration to achieve high resolving power, which is of significant value in the ion implantation industry. System size is further reduced by using a small ion source and a quadrupole lens to collimate the beam after expansion and analysis. There is no fundamental limit to the aspect ratio of the beam that can be analyzed.

An ion implanter includes a wafer pad for supporting wafer thereon. The wafer pad is covered by a wafer coating having at least two layers with each layer composed of a different coating material. The top layer may be PTFE, PFA, FEP, or TEFLON polymer layer. The bottom layer may be a layer that is composed of a soft material with a low duometer reading or a vulcanized elastormer layer, or a silicon layer serving the function as a cushion layer. In general, the top layer is a protective layer that has a friction coefficient less than 0.6 and having a roughness less than 0.4 micron when operated in the implanter for loading and unloading the wafer from the wafer pad.
