摘要:
An ion implantation device equipped with a high-speed driving device which causes rotation of the a disk that supports semiconductor wafers around it outer periphery. A center position of the disk is the axis of the rotation of the high speed rotation. A low-speed driving device causes relative movement of the disk in a radial direction. The ion implantation device further has a control circuit which calculates the movement speed of the aforementioned low-speed driving device with reference to different spacings between wafers about the outer periphery and the distance from the center of the disk to the ion implantation position, and controls said low speed scan speed so that ions are uniformly implanted into the aforementioned wafers.

A biological treatment system and method is provided for treating wastewater from a treatment plant which provides primary and secondary treatment. An aggregate-filled bed enclosed by a water-impervious barrier is used to receive and cleanse the wastewater using the roots of turf grass grown on the top of the bed. Wastewater is introduced near the bottom of the bed and flows generally upwardly through the voids in the media, passing through the root system of the turf grass. Wastewater is withdrawn from the bed at a higher level than it is introduced. The top surface of the bed remains dry and is capable of supporting pedestrian and vehicular traffic. A recirculation system maintains the generally upward flow of water through the bed. Transpiration reduces the volume of the wastewater and the biological cleansing action of the roots cleanses the wastewater. Alternative forms of the bed are described.

An ion source that utilizes exited and/or atomic gas injection is disclosed. In an ion beam application, the source gas can be used directly, as it is traditionally supplied. Alternatively or additionally, the source gas can be altered by passing it through a remote plasma source prior to being introduced to the ion source chamber. This can be used to create excited neutrals, heavy ions, metastable molecules or multiply charged ions. In another embodiment, multiple gasses are used, where one or more of the gasses are passed through a remote plasma generator. In certain embodiments, the gasses are combined in a single plasma generator before being supplied to the ion source chamber. In plasma immersion applications, plasma is injected into the process chamber through one or more additional gas injection locations. These injection locations allow the influx of additional plasma, produced by remote plasma sources external to the process chamber.

An RF ion source utilizing a heating/RF-shielding element for controlling the temperature of an RF window and to act as an RF shielding element for the RF ion source. When the heating/RF shielding element is in a heating mode, it suppresses formation of unwanted deposits on the RF window which negatively impacts the transfer of RF energy from an RF antenna to a plasma chamber. When the heating/RF-shielding element is in a shielding mode, it provides an electrostatic shielding for the RF ion source.

In an ion implanter, an inert gas is directed at a cathode assembly near an ion source chamber via a supply tube. The inert gas is provided with a localized directional flow toward the cathode assembly to reduce unwanted concentrations of cleaning or dopant gases introduced into the ion source chamber, thereby reducing the effects of unwanted filament growth in the cathode assembly and extending the manufacturing life of the ion source.

An energy contamination detection apparatus includes a membrane and a charge collection plate disposed at a distance from the membrane. The membrane is configured to receive an ion beam and allow a portion of the ion beam having energy levels above a desired energy level to pass therethrough toward the charge collection plate and absorb or reflect portions of the ion beam having energy levels at or below the desired energy level. A voltage source is electrically coupled to the charge collection plate for providing a bias voltage to the charge collection plate. A detection circuit is coupled to the charge collection plate and is configured to detect energy contamination based on an amount of charge collected on the charge collection plate.
