    摘要: An analyzer module of an ion implanter includes beam deflection apparatus adjacent to a resolving opening from which a terminal ion beam portion of an ion beam emanates. In response to a beam deflection voltage of a first value of substantially zero volts in a first operating condition, the beam deflection apparatus directs a source ion beam portion of the ion beam toward the resolving opening to generate the terminal ion beam portion. When the beam deflection voltage has a high second value in a second operating condition, the beam deflection apparatus directs the species of the source ion beam portion away from the resolving opening such that the terminal ion beam portion is substantially extinguished. Beam control circuitry is operative during the second operating condition to transition the ion implanter to the first operating condition by rapidly switching the beam deflection voltage from the second value to the first value. An implantation method employs the features of the implanter to recover from glitches during implantation and thereby improve the yield of implanted wafers.
