    Abstract: A hydrogen ion implanter for the exfoliation of silicon from silicon wafers uses a large scan wheel carrying 50+ wafers around its periphery and rotating about an axis. In one embodiment, the axis of rotation of the wheel is fixed and a ribbon beam of hydrogen ions is directed down on a peripheral edge of the wheel. The ribbon beam extends over the full radial width of wafers on the wheel. The beam is generated by an ion source providing an extracted ribbon beam having at least 100 mm major cross-sectional diameter. The ribbon beam may be passed through a 90° bending magnet which bends the beam in the plane of the ribbon. The magnet provides intensity correction across the ribbon to compensate for the dependency on the radial distance from the wheel axis of the speed at which parts of the wafers pass through the ribbon beam.

    Abstract: An ion-cut machine and method for slicing silicon ingots into thin wafers for solar cell manufacturing is set forth, amongst other embodiments and applications. One embodiment comprises two carousels: first carousel (100) adapted for circulating workpieces (55) under ion beam (10) inside target vacuum chamber (30) while second carousel (80) is adapted for carrying implanted workpieces through a sequence of process stations that may include annealing (60), cleaving (70), slice output (42), ingot replacement (52), handle bonding, cleaning, etching and others. Workpieces are essentially swapped between carousels. In one embodiment, the swapping system comprises a high throughput load lock (200) disposed in the wall of the vacuum chamber (30), a vacuum swapper (110) swapping workpieces between first carousel (100) and load lock (200), and an atmospheric swapper (90) swapping workpieces between load lock (200) and second carousel (80).
