摘要:
In a method of doping ions into an object, such as a substrate, using plasma, a doping gas may be provided between first and second electrodes in a chamber. An electric field may be formed between the first and the second electrodes to excite the doping gas to a plasma state. The electric field may be formed by applying a first power having a first positive electric potential and a second power having a second positive electric potential, the second positive electric potential being higher than the first positive electric potential. The electric field may be reversed in direction by blocking the second power from being applied to the second electrode. Accumulated ions on the substrate may be effectively neutralized by introducing electrons toward the substrate so that arcing generation may be prevented.

A method and an apparatus for measuring an inclination angle of an ion beam when ions are implanted into a semiconductor wafer include an ion current measuring section having a Faraday cup assembly which is rotatably installed, an angle varying section for adjusting an alignment angle of the Faraday cup assembly, and an inclination angle measuring section for measuring the inclination angle of the ion beam based on a variation of the ion current caused by a variation of the alignment angle of the Faraday cup assembly. By measuring the inclination angle of the ion beam, the incident angle of the ion beam, which is incident into the wafer during the ion implantation process, can be precisely adjusted to a predetermined critical angle. Accordingly, the channeling effect and shadow effect can be effectively prevented. The amount of the ions included in the ion beam can be precisely measured, so the amount of ions implanted into the wafer can be precisely adjusted.

A heater assembly of a semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus minimizes a temperature difference between a peripheral portion and a central portion of the wafer being processed in the apparatus. The heater assembly includes a unitary resistive heating member in the form of a disc, heat blocks that divide the peripheral portion and central portion of the upper surface of the disc into respective heating sections, a support for supporting the heating member, and an electric power source for supplying electric current to the unitary heating member. The widths of the heating sections become greater towards the center of the heater, and thus the electrical resistance of the heater also increases in a direction towards the center of the heater. The power source for the heater includes a lead that extends from the bottom surface of the heater to a bottom portion of the heater support.

An apparatus for use in orienting an object at a reference angle includes a pin gauge having at least two projections located at an end of the body of the apparatus. The projections are located at certain X Y coordinates of an X, Y Z Cartesian coordinate system. A horizontal support supports the body so as to be movable horizontally in the longitudinal direction of the projections. A mechanical drive member is operable to move the body mechanically in the horizontal direction. The apparatus may also include a vertical support and vertical drive member. The pin gauge is mechanically moved into contact with a surface of an object to provide a reference angle for the object. Then the object is pivoted, if necessary, to bring the surface into point contact with all of the projections of the pin gauge, whereupon the object is oriented at the reference angle. Process errors in aligning the object using the reference angle are reduced because the orienting of the object at the reference angle is accomplished using mechanical elements.
