    摘要: Techniques for preventing parasitic beamlets from affecting ion implantation are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as an apparatus for preventing parasitic beamlets from affecting ion implantation. The apparatus may comprise a controller that is configured to scan a spot beam back and forth, thereby forming an ion beam spanning a predetermined width. The apparatus may also comprise an aperture mechanism that, if kept stationary, allows the spot beam to pass through. The apparatus may further comprise a synchronization mechanism, coupled to the controller and the aperture mechanism, that is configured to cause the aperture mechanism to move in synchronization with the scanned spot beam, allowing the scanned spot beam to pass through but blocking one or more parasitic beamlets associated with the spot beam.

    摘要: A charged particle beam apparatus includes a charged particle beam source for directing a charged particle beam along a beam path in a downstream direction to a target, and a processing station that defines a target chamber. The processing station includes a chamber divider which divides the target chamber into upstream and downstream regions during charged particle beam processing of the target, the target being located in the downstream region. The divider has an aperture therethrough sized to permit passage of the ion beam to the target without substantial blockage and to limit backflow of gas into the upstream region of the chamber. The divider minimizes the beam volume which is exposed to extraneous species generated at the target and thereby reduces the probability of beam-altering collisions.

    摘要: An angle measurement system for an ion beam includes a flag defining first and second features, wherein the second feature has a variable spacing from the first feature, a mechanism to translate the flag along a translation path so that the flag intercepts at least a portion of the ion beam, and a sensing device to detect the ion beam for different flag positions along the translation path and produce a sensor signal having a first signal component representative of the first feature and a second signal component representative of the second feature. The first and second signal components and corresponding positions of the flag are representative of an angle of the ion beam in a direction orthogonal to the translation path. The sensing device may be a two-dimensional array of beam current sensors. The system may provide measurements of horizontal and vertical beam angles while translating the flag in only one direction.
