    摘要: Provided is a semiconductor apparatus using an ion beam. The semiconductor apparatus may include a first grid to which a voltage applied. The voltage applied to the first grid may have the same potential level as that of a reference voltage applied to a wall portion of a plasma chamber in which plasma may be generated. The first grid may adjoin the plasma. Therefore, a potential level difference between the first grid and the wall portion of the plasma chamber may be zero, and thus the plasma may be stable.

    摘要: Conventional methods of semiconductor fabrication and processing typically utilize three gas (e.g., HBr, Cl2 and O2) and four gas (e.g., HBr, Cl2, O2 and CF4) chemistries to perform gate etching in plasma process chambers. However, the silicon to resist selectivity achieved by these chemistries is limited to about 3:1. The present invention concerns a plasma source gas comprising SF6 and one or more fluorine-containing gases selected from C3F6, C4F8, C5F8, CH2F2, CHF3, and C4F6 (e.g., SF6 and C4F8), allowing the use of a two gas etch chemistry that provides enhanced silicon to photoresist selectivity in gate etching processes.

    摘要: Multicusp ion sources are capable of producing ions with low axial energy spread which are necessary in applications such as ion projection lithography (IPL) and radioactive ion beam production. The addition of a radially extending magnetic filter consisting of a pair of permanent magnets to the multicusp source reduces the energy spread considerably due to the improvement in the uniformity of the axial plasma potential distribution in the discharge region. A coaxial multicusp ion source designed to further reduce the energy spread utilizes a cylindrical magnetic filter to achieve a more uniform axial plasma potential distribution. The coaxial magnetic filter divides the source chamber into an outer annular discharge region in which the plasma is produced and a coaxial inner ion extraction region into which the ions radially diffuse but from which ionizing electrons are excluded. The energy spread in the coaxial source has been measured to be 0.6 eV. Unlike other ion sources, the coaxial source has the capability of adjusting the radial plasma potential distribution and therefore the transverse ion temperature (or beam emittance).

    摘要: An antenna comprises a plurality of small diameter conductive wires disposed in a dielectric tube. The number and dimensions of the conductive wires is selected to improve the RF resistance of the antenna while also facilitating a reduction in thermal gradients that may create thermal stresses on the dielectric tube. The antenna may be mounted in a vacuum system using a low-stress antenna assembly that cushions and protects the dielectric tube from shock and mechanical vibration while also permitting convenient electrical and coolant connections to the antenna.
