摘要: In an ion implanter, an ion current measurement device is disposed behind a mask co-planarly with respect to a surface of a target substrate as if said target substrate was positioned on a platen. The ion current measurement device is translated across the ion beam. The current of the ion beam directed through a plurality of apertures of the mask is measured using the ion current measurement device. In this manner, the position of the mask with respect to the ion beam as well as the condition of the mask may be determined based on the ion current profile measured by the ion current measurement device.

摘要: One method of implanting a workpiece involves implanting the workiece with an n-type dopant in a first region with center and a periphery. The workpiece also is implanted with a p-type dopant in a second region complementary to the first region. This second region also has a center and a periphery. The periphery of the first region and the periphery of the second region at least partially overlap. A dose at the periphery of the first region or second region is less than a dose at the center of the first region or second region. The region of overlap may function as a junction where charge carriers cannot pass.

摘要: An improved method of producing solar cells utilizes a mask which is fixed relative to an ion beam in an ion implanter. The ion beam is directed through a plurality of apertures in the mask toward a substrate. The substrate is moved at different speeds such that the substrate is exposed to an ion dose rate when the substrate is moved at a first scan rate and to a second ion dose rate when the substrate is moved at a second scan rate. By modifying the scan rate, various dose rates may be implanted on the substrate at corresponding substrate locations. This allows ion implantation to be used to provide precise doping profiles advantageous for manufacturing solar cells.

摘要: A system and method are disclosed for aligning substrates during successive process steps, such as ion implantation steps, is disclosed. Implanted regions are created on a substrate. After implantation, an image is obtained of the implanted regions, and a fiducial is provided on the substrate in known relation to at least one of the implanted regions. A thermal anneal process is performed on the substrate such that the implanted regions are no longer visible but the fiducial remains visible. The position of the fiducial may be used in downstream process steps to properly align pattern masks over the implanted regions. The fiducial also may be applied to the substrate before any ion implanting of the substrate is performed. The position of the fiducial with respect to an edge or a corner of the substrate may be used for aligning during downstream process steps. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要: An improved method of moving a mask to perform a pattern implant of a substrate is disclosed. The mask has a plurality of apertures, and is placed between the ion source and the substrate. After the substrate is exposed to the ion beam, the mask is indexed to a new position relative to the substrate and a subsequent implant step is performed. Through the selection of the aperture size and shape, the index distance and the number of implant steps, a variety of implant patterns may be created. In some embodiments, the implant pattern includes heavily doped horizontal stripes with lighter doped regions between the stripes. In some embodiments, the implant pattern includes a grid of heavily doped regions. In other embodiments, the implant pattern is suitable for use with a bus-bar structure.
