    摘要: In a cleaning process for an ion source chamber, an electrode positioned outside of the ion source chamber includes a suppression plug. When the cleaning gas is introduced into the source chamber, the suppression plug may engage an extraction aperture of the source chamber to adjust the gas pressure within the chamber to enhance chamber cleaning via. plasma-enhanced chemical reaction. The gas conductance between the source chamber aperture and the suppression plug can be adjusted during the cleaning process to provide optimum cleaning conditions and to exhaust unwanted deposits.

    摘要: Techniques for providing ion source feed materials are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a container for supplying an ion source feed material. The container may comprise an internal cavity to be pre-filled with an ion source feed material. The container may also comprise an outer body configured to be removably loaded into a corresponding housing that is coupled to an ion source chamber via a nozzle assembly. The container may further comprise an outlet to seal in the pre-filled ion source feed material, the outlet being further configured to engage with the nozzle assembly to establish a flow path between the internal cavity and the ion source chamber. The container may be configured to be a disposable component.

    摘要: A technique improving performance and lifetime of indirectly heated cathode ion sources is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for improving performance and lifetime of an indirectly heated cathode (IHC) ion source in an ion implanter. The method may comprise maintaining an arc chamber of the IHC ion source under vacuum during a maintenance of the ion implanter, wherein no gas is supplied to the arc chamber. The method may also comprise heating a cathode of the IHC ion source by supplying a filament with a current. The method may further comprise biasing the cathode with respect to the filament at a current level of 0.5-5 A without biasing the arc chamber with respect to the cathode. The method additionally comprise keeping a source magnet from producing a magnetic field inside the arc chamber.

    摘要: An ion implanter has a source arc chamber including a conductive end wall at a repeller end of the arc chamber, the end wall having a central portion surrounding an opening. A ceramic insulator is secured to an outer surface of the end wall, such as by peripheral screw threads engaging mating threads at the periphery of a recessed area of the end wall. A conductive repeller has a narrow shaft secured to the insulator and extending through the end wall opening, and a body disposed within the source arc chamber adjacent to the end wall. The end wall, insulator and repeller are configured to form a continuous vacuum gap between the central portion of the end wall and (i) the repeller body, (ii) the repeller shaft, and (iii) the insulator. The insulator interior surface can have a ridged cross section.
