    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method and a system for clamping a wafer to a J-R electrostatic chuck using a single-phase square wave AC clamping voltage. The method comprises determining a single-phase square wave clamping voltage for the J-R electrostatic chuck, wherein the determination is based, at least in part, on a minimum residual clamping force associated with the wafer and the electrostatic chuck and a surface topography of a leaky dielectric layer associated therewith. The wafer is placed on the electrostatic chuck; and the determined clamping voltage is applied to the electrostatic chuck, therein electrostatically clamping the wafer to the electrostatic chuck, wherein at least the minimum residual clamping force is maintained during a polarity switch of the single-phase square wave clamping voltage. The determination of the surface topography comprises a first gap and a second gap between the wafer and the electrostatic chuck and an island area ratio, wherein a difference in RC time constants associated with the respective first gap and second gap is provided such that at least the minimum residual clamping force is maintained during the polarity switch. Upon removal of the square wave clamping voltage, the de-clamping time is substantially reduced, and corresponds to the pulse width of the square wave clamping voltage.

    摘要: A method for use with a plasma immersion ion implantations systems wherein a substrate W having a patterned photoresist P thereon is implanted. The method includes ionizing a first gas in a chamber 12 to produce electrically inactive ions and reacting the electrically active ions with the photoresist P to produce outgassing 64. The outgassed material 64 is continuously evacuated until outgassing is substantially completed. The method further includes ionizing a second gas to produce electrically active ions and implanting a positively charged species of the electrically active ions into the substrate. Also disclosed is a method for curing the photoresist prior to ion implantation. A gas is ionized in the chamber 12 to produce positively and electrons. The electrons are first attracted to a substrate in the chamber having patterned photoresist P thereon for hardening the photoresist. The positively charged ions are then implanted into substrate W wherein photoresist outgassing is substantially prevented.

    摘要: A plasma-enhanced electron shower (62) for an ion implantation system (10) is provided, including a target (64) provided with a chamber (84) at least partially defined by a replaceable graphite liner (82). A filament assembly (67) attached to the target generates and directs a supply of primary electrons toward a surface (118) provided by the graphite liner, which is biased to a low negative voltage of up to -10V (approximately -6V) to insure that secondary electrons emitted therefrom as a result of impacting primary electrons have a uniform low energy. The filament assembly (67) includes a filament (68) for thermionically emitting primary electrons; a biased (-300V) filament electrode (70) for focusing the emitted primary electrons, and a grounded extraction aperture (72) for extracting the focused primary electrons toward the graphite surface (118). A gas nozzle (77) attached to the target (64) introduces into the chamber a supply of gas molecules to be ionized by the primary electrons. The direction of the nozzle is set with respect to the filament assembly (67) to maximize the ionization rate of the gas molecules.
