Techniques for providing optical ion beam metrology are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as an apparatus for controlling beam density profile, the apparatus may include one or more camera systems to capture at least one image of an ion beam and a control system coupled to the one or more camera systems to control a beam density profile of the ion beam. The control system may further include a dose profiler to provide information to one or more ion implantation components in at least one of a feedback loop and a feedforward loop to improve dose and angle uniformity.

A ribbon beam mass analyzer having a first and second solenoid coils and steel yoke arrangement. Each of the solenoid coils have a substantially “racetrack” configuration defining a space through which an ion ribbon beam travels. The solenoid coils are spaced apart along the direction of travel of the ribbon beam. Each of the solenoid coils generates a uniform magnetic field to accommodate mass resolution of wide ribbon beams to produce a desired image of ions generated from an ion source.

A sheet measurement apparatus has a sheet disposed in a melt. The measurement system uses a beam to determine a dimension of the sheet. This dimension may be, for example, height or width. The beam may be, for example, collimated light, a laser, x-rays, or gamma rays. The production of the sheet may be altered based on the measurements.

A hot wedge, automatic seam welder is disclosed. The welder is comprised of a chassis having a base plate, a motor housing and a support arm extending from the motor housing. An S-shaped guide for guiding opposing sheets of material is between the base plate and the motor housing. Disposed downstream from the motor housing, depending from the support arm, is vertically-movable suspension for a driven upper pressure roller which is occludable with a driven lower pressure roller on the base plate. Also depending from the support arm is vertically-movable and adjustable suspension for the hot wedge. A horn-shaped shroud for guiding material over and under the wedge, and for shrouding the wedge when in its disengaged mode, is disposed upstream from the wedge. Guides for performing lap welds, fin welds and hem welds, as well as many variations thereupon, are also disclosed.

A method of capturing and removing contaminant particles moving within an evacuated interior region of an ion beam implanter is disclosed. The steps of the method include: providing a particle collector having a surface to which contaminant particles readily adhere; securing the particle collector to the implanter such that particle adhering surface is in fluid communication to the contaminant particles moving within the interior region; and removing the particle collector from the implanter after a predetermined period of time. An ion implanter in combination with a particle collector for trapping and removing contaminant particles moving in an evacuated interior region of the implanter traversed by an ion beam is also disclosed, the particle collector including a surface to which the contaminant particles readily adhere and securement means for releasably securing the particle collector to the implanter such that the particle adhering surface is in fluid communication with the evacuated interior region of the implanter.

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.

A system and method for maintain a desired degree of platen flatness is disclosed. A laser system is used to measure the flatness of a platen. The temperature of the platen is then varied to achieve the desired level of flatness. In some embodiments, this laser system is only used during a set up period and the resulting desired temperature is then used during normal operation. In other embodiments, a laser system is used to measure the flatness of the platen, even while the workpiece is being processed.
