    Abstract: An ion source, capable of generating high-density wide ribbon ion beam, utilizing inductively coupled plasma production is disclosed. As opposed to conventional ICP sources, the present disclosure describes an ICP source which is not cylindrical. Rather, the source is defined such that its width, which is the dimension along which the beam is extracted, is greater than its height. The depth of the source may be defined to maximize energy transfer from the antenna to the plasma. In a further embodiment, a multicusp magnetic field surrounding the ICP source is used to further increase the current density and improve the uniformity of the extracted ion beam. Ion beam uniformity can also be controlled by means of several independent controls, including gas flow rate, and input RF power.

    Abstract: An ion source is provided that utilizes the same dopant gas supplied to the chamber to generate the desired process plasma to also provide temperature control of the chamber walls during high throughput operations. The ion source includes a chamber having a wall that defines an interior surface. A liner is disposed within the chamber and has at least one orifice to supply the dopant gas to an inside of the chamber. A gap is defined between at least a portion of the interior surface of the chamber wall and the liner. A first conduit is configured to supply dopant gas to the gap where the dopant gas has a flow rate within the gap. A second conduit is configured to remove the dopant gas from the gap, wherein the flow rate of the dopant gas within the gap acts as a heat transfer media to regulate the temperature of the interior of the chamber.
