    摘要: An ion implantation apparatus includes a beam scanner that provides a reciprocating beam scan in a beam scan direction in accordance with a scan waveform, a mechanical scanner that causes a wafer to reciprocate in a mechanical scan direction, and a control device that controls the beam scanner and the mechanical scanner to realize a target two-dimensional dose amount distribution on a surface of the wafer. The control device includes a scan frequency adjusting unit that determines a frequency of the scan waveform in accordance with the target two-dimensional dose amount distribution, and a beam scanner driving unit that drives the beam scanner by using the scan waveform having the frequency determined by the scan frequency adjusting unit.

    摘要: An ion implanter includes a plasma shower device configured to supply electrons to an ion beam with which a wafer is irradiated. The plasma shower device includes a plasma generating chamber provided with an extraction opening, a first electrode which is provided with an opening communicating with the extraction opening and to which a first voltage is applied with respect to an electric potential of the plasma generating chamber, a second electrode which is disposed at a position facing the first electrode such that the ion beam is interposed between the first and second electrodes and to which a second voltage is applied with respect to the electric potential of the plasma generating chamber, and a controller configured to independently control the first voltage and the second voltage to switch operation modes of the plasma shower device.

    摘要: An ion implantation apparatus performs a plurality of ion implantation processes having different implantation conditions to a same wafer successively. The plurality of ion implantation processes are: (a) provided so that twist angles of the wafer differ from each other; (b) configured so that an ion beam is irradiated to a wafer surface to be processed that moves in a reciprocating movement direction; and (c) provided so that a target value of a beam current density distribution of the ion beam is variable in accordance with a position of the wafer in the reciprocating movement direction. Before performing the plurality of ion implantation processes to the same wafer successively, a control device executes a setup process in which a plurality of scanning parameters corresponding to the respective implantation conditions of the plurality of ion implantation processes are determined collectively.

    摘要: An antenna cover that protects a surface of an antenna provided in a plasma chamber and exciting an electric field with a high frequency to an inner portion of the plasma chamber is provided. In the antenna cover, the thickness of the antenna cover in at least one direction among directions orthogonal to the surface of the antenna is different according to a position on the surface, such that space dependency of an electric potential on an external surface of the antenna cover decreases. In the antenna cover, the thickness of at least one direction may be changed along an extension direction of the antenna.
