摘要:
An ion implantation system includes an ion source configured to provide an ion beam, a terminal structure defining a cavity, the ion source at least partially disposed within the cavity, and an insulator system. The insulator system is configured to electrically insulate the terminal structure and is configured to provide an effective dielectric strength greater than about 72 kilovolts (kV)/inch in a region proximate at least one exterior surface of the terminal structure. A gas box insulator system to electrically insulate a gas box of the ion implantation system is also provided.

Techniques for terminal insulation for an ion implanter are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as an ion implanter comprising a terminal structure defining a terminal cavity. The ion implanter may also comprise a grounded enclosure defining a grounded cavity and the terminal structure may be at least partially disposed within the grounded cavity. The ion implanter may further comprise an intermediate terminal structure disposed proximate an exterior portion of the terminal structure and at least partially disposed within the grounded cavity.

A power supply system for an ion implantation system. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the system may be realized as a power supply system that includes a low frequency power inverter, a stack driver and a high voltage power generation unit that receives source power from the power inverter. The high voltage generation unit may include a high voltage transformer for providing an output power that is multiplied to a desired output level and delivered to an input terminal of an ion beam accelerator. The power supply system may also include a dielectric enclosure that encases at least a portion of the high voltage power generation unit, thereby preventing variation in the break down strength of the internal components.
