摘要:
An implanter provides two-dimensional scanning of a substrate relative to an implant beam so that the beam draws a raster of scan lines on the substrate. The beam current is measured at turnaround points off the substrate and the current value is used to control the subsequent fast scan speed so as to compensate for the effect of any variation in beam current on dose uniformity in the slow scan direction. The scanning may produce a raster of non-intersecting uniformly spaced parallel scan lines and the spacing between the lines is selected to ensure appropriate dose uniformity.

This invention relates to an ion beam monitoring arrangement for use in an ion implanter where it is desirable to monitor the flux and/or a cross-sectional profile of the ion beam used for implantation. It is often desirable to measure the flux and/or cross-sectional profile of an ion beam in an ion implanter in order to improve control of ion implantation of a semiconductor wafer or similar. The present invention describes adapting the wafer holder to allow such beam profiling to be performed. The substrate holder may be used progressively to occlude the ion beam from a downstream flux monitor or a flux monitor may be located on the wafer holder that is provided with a slit entrance aperture.

Semiconductor processing apparatus is disclosed which provides for movement of a scanning arm 60 of a substrate or wafer holder 180, in at least two generally orthogonal directions (so-called X-Y scanning). Scanning in a first direction is longitudinally through an aperture 55 in a vacuum chamber wall. The arm 60 is reciprocated by one or more linear motors 90A, 90B. The arm 60 is supported relative to a slide 100 using gimballed air bearings so as to provide cantilever support for the arm relative to the slide 100. A compliant feedthrough 130 into the vacuum chamber for the arm 60 then acts as a vacuum seal and guide but does not itself need to provide bearing support. A Faraday 450 is attached to the arm 60 adjacent the substrate holder 180 to allow beam profiling to be carried out both prior to and during implant. The Faraday 450 can instead or additionally be mounted adjacent the rear of the substrate holder or at 90° to it to allow beam profiling to be carried out prior to implant, with the substrate support reversed or horizontal and out of the beam line.
摘要:
A method of deriving a primary and secondary billing scheme for a plurality of services each having a respective service consumption cost comprises, at a billing entity, receiving service consumption data. The billing entity applies each of a primary and secondary service consumption pricing plan to the service consumption data to derive respective primary and secondary billing schemes.
