摘要:
Methods of affecting a material's properties through the implantation of ions, such as by using a plasma processing apparatus with a plasma sheath modifier. In this way, properties such as resistance to chemicals, adhesiveness, hydrophobicity, and hydrophilicity, may be affected. These methods can be applied to a variety of technologies. In some cases, ion implantation is used in the manufacture of printer heads to reduce clogging by increasing the materials hydrophobicity. In other embodiments, MEMS and NEMS devices are produced using ion implantation to change the properties of fluid channels and other structures. In addition, ion implantation can be used to affect a material's resistance to chemicals, such as acids.
摘要:
Methods of ion implantation and ion sources used for the same are provided. The methods involve generating ions from a source feed gas that comprises multiple elements. For example, the source feed gas may comprise boron and at least two other elements (e.g., XaBbYc). The use of such source feed gases can lead to a number of advantages over certain conventional processes including enabling use of higher implant energies and beam currents when forming implanted regions having ultra-shallow junction depths. Also, in certain embodiments, the composition of the source feed gas may be selected to be thermally stable at relatively high temperatures (e.g., greater than 350° C.) which allows use of such gases in many conventional ion sources (e.g., indirectly heated cathode (IHC), Bernas) which generate such temperatures during use.

摘要:
Methods of modulating a material's surface energies through the implantation of ions, such as by using a plasma processing apparatus with a plasma sheath modifier, are disclosed. Two or more ion implants may be performed, where the implant regions of two of the ion implants overlap. The species implanted by a first implant may increase the hydrophobicity of the surface, wherein the species implanted by the second implant may decrease the hydrophobicity of the surface. In this way, a workpiece can be implanted such that different portions of its surface have different surface energies.

A method of tailoring the dopant profile of a substrate by utilizing two different dopants, each having a different diffusivity is disclosed. The substrate may be, for example, a solar cell. By introducing two different dopants, such as by ion implantation, furnace diffusion, or paste, it is possible to create the desired dopant profile. In addition, the dopants may be introduced simultaneously, partially simultaneously, or sequentially. Dopant pairs preferably consist of one lighter species and one heavier species, where the lighter species has a greater diffusivity. For example, dopant pairs such as boron and gallium, boron and indium, phosphorus and arsenic, and phosphorus and antimony, can be utilized.

An improved method of creating thermoelectric materials which have high electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity is disclosed. In one embodiment, the thermoelectric material is made by depositing a porous film onto a substrate, introducing a dopant into the porous film and annealing the porous film to activate the dopant. In other embodiments, additional amounts of dopant may be introduced via subsequent ion implantations of dopant into the deposited porous film.
摘要:
A method of using helium to create ultra shallow junctions is disclosed. A pre-implantation amorphization using helium has significant advantages. For example, it has been shown that dopants will penetrate the substrate only to the amorphous-crystalline interface, and no further. Therefore, by properly determining the implant energy of helium, it is possible to exactly determine the junction depth. Increased doses of dopant simply reduce the substrate resistance with no effect on junction depth. Furthermore, the lateral straggle of helium is related to the implant energy and the dose rate of the helium PAI, therefore lateral diffusion can also be determined based on the implant energy and dose rate of the helium PAI. Thus, dopant may be precisely implanted beneath a sidewall spacer, or other obstruction.
