    摘要: A mass analyzer includes a mass analyzing magnet that applies a magnetic field to ions extracted from an ion source to deflect the ions, a mass analyzing slit that is provided downstream of the mass analyzing magnet and allows an ion of a desired ion species among the deflected ions to selectively pass, and a lens device that is provided between the mass analyzing magnet and the mass analyzing slit and applies a magnetic field and/or an electric field to the ion beam to adjust the convergence or divergence of a ion beam. The mass analyzer changes a focal point of the ion beam in a predetermined adjustable range between an upstream side and a downstream side of the mass analyzing slit with the lens device to adjust mass resolution.

    摘要: A first conveyance mechanism and a second conveyance mechanism convey a pair of two wafers to an alignment device from a wafer container via a buffer device, and then bring the wafers respectively into a first load lock chamber and a second load lock chamber after alignment. An intermediate conveyance mechanism conveys one of the pair of two wafers between the first load lock chamber and a vacuum processing chamber. The intermediate conveyance mechanism conveys the other of the pair of two wafers between the second load lock chamber and the vacuum processing chamber. The first conveyance mechanism and the second conveyance mechanism take out the pair of two wafers subjected to an implantation process from the first load lock chamber and the second load lock chamber and store the wafers into the wafer container.

    摘要: An ion implantation apparatus performs a plurality of ion implantation processes having different implantation conditions to a same wafer successively. The plurality of ion implantation processes are: (a) provided so that twist angles of the wafer differ from each other; (b) configured so that an ion beam is irradiated to a wafer surface to be processed that moves in a reciprocating movement direction; and (c) provided so that a target value of a beam current density distribution of the ion beam is variable in accordance with a position of the wafer in the reciprocating movement direction. Before performing the plurality of ion implantation processes to the same wafer successively, a control device executes a setup process in which a plurality of scanning parameters corresponding to the respective implantation conditions of the plurality of ion implantation processes are determined collectively.
