    摘要: A beam density measurement system includes a shield, a beam sensor, and an actuator. The beam sensor is positioned downstream from the shield in a direction of travel of a beam. The beam sensor is configured to sense an intensity of the beam, and the beam sensor has a long dimension and a short dimension. The actuator translates the shield relative to the beam sensor, wherein the shield blocks at least a portion of the beam from the beam sensor as the shield is translated relative to the beam sensor, and wherein measured values of the intensity associated with changes in a position of the shield relative to the beam sensor are representative of a beam density distribution of the beam in a first direction defined by the long dimension of the beam sensor.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a method for high tilt angle implantation, with angular precision not previously achievable. An ion beam, having a width and height dimension, is made up of a number of individual beamlets. These beamlets typically display a higher degree of parallelism in one of these two dimensions. Thus, to minimize angular error, the workpiece is tilted about an axis substantially perpendicular to the dimension having the higher degree of parallelism. The workpiece is then implanted at a high tilt angle and rotated about a line orthogonal to the surface of the workpiece. This process can be repeated until the high tilt implantation has been performed in all required regions.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method for detecting particle beam characteristics are disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus may have a body including a first end and second end and at least one detector between the first and second ends. The apparatus may have a transparent state where a portion of the particles entering the apparatus may pass through the apparatus. The apparatus may also have a minimum transparency state where substantially all of the particles entering the apparatus may be prevented from passing through the apparatus and detected. Different transparency state may be achieved by rotating the apparatus or the detector contained therein. With the apparatus, it is possible to detect the beam properties such as the beam intensity, angle, parallelism, and a distribution of the particles in a particle beam.

    摘要: A technique for ion beam angle process control is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for ion beam angle process control in an ion implanter system. The method may comprise directing one or more ion beams at a substrate surface. The method may also comprise determining an average spread of incident angles at which the one or more ion beams strike the substrate surface. The method may further comprise adjusting the one or more ion beams based at least in part on the average spread of incident angles to produce a desired spread of ion beam incident angles.
