    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a process chamber, a platen positioned in the process chamber for supporting a workpiece, a source configured to generate a plasma in the process chamber having a plasma sheath adjacent to the front surface of the workpiece, and an insulating modifier. The insulting modifier is configured to control a shape of a boundary between the plasma and the plasma sheath so a portion of the shape of the boundary is not parallel to a plane defined by a front surface of the workpiece facing the plasma. Controlling the shape of the boundary between the plasma and the plasma sheath enables a large range of incident angles of particles striking the workpiece to be achieved.

    摘要: A method of implanting a workpiece in an ion implantation system. The method may include providing an extraction plate adjacent to a plasma chamber containing a plasma, such that the extraction plate extracts ions from the plasma through at least one aperture that provides an ion beam having ions distributed over a range of an angles of incidence on the workpiece. The method may include scanning the workpiece with respect to the extraction plate and varying a power level of the plasma during the scanning from a first power level to a second power level, wherein at a surface of the workpiece, a first beam width at a first power level is greater than a second beam width at a second power level.

    摘要: An ion source includes an arc chamber having an extraction aperture, and a plasma sheath modulator. The plasma sheath modulator is configured to control a shape of a boundary between plasma and a plasma sheath proximate the extraction aperture. The plasma sheath modulator may include a pair of insulators positioned in the arc chamber and spaced apart by a gap positioned proximate the extraction aperture. A well focused ion beam having a high current density can be generated by the ion source. A high current density ion beam can improve the throughput of an associated process. The emittance of the ion beam can also be controlled.
