    摘要: 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.
