摘要:
A process control method is provided for ion implantation methods and apparatuses, to produce a high dosage area on a substrate such as may compensate for noted non-uniformities. In an ion implantation tool, separately controllable electrodes are provided as multiple sets of opposed electrodes disposed outside an ion beam. Beam blockers are positionable into the ion beam. Both the electrodes and beam blockers are controllable to reduce the area of the ion beam that is incident upon a substrate. The electrodes and beam blockers also change the position of the reduced-area ion beam incident upon the surface. The speed at which the substrate scans past the ion beam may be dynamically changed during the implantation process to produce various dosage concentrations in the substrate.

A method for fabricating an integrated device is disclosed. A protective layer is formed over a gate structure when forming epitaxial (epi) features adjacent to another gate structure uncovered by the protective layer. The protective layer is thereafter removed after forming the epitaxial (epi) features. The disclosed method provides an improved method for removing the protective layer without substantial defects resulting. In an embodiment, the improved formation method is achieved by providing a protector over an oxide-base material, and then removing the protective layer using a chemical comprising hydrofluoric acid.
