    摘要: An ion generator includes an arc chamber defining a plasma generation space, and a cathode which emits thermoelectrons toward the plasma generation space. The arc chamber includes a box-shaped main body having an opening, and a slit member mounted to cover the opening and provided with a front slit. An inner surface of the main body is exposed to the plasma generation space made of a refractory metal material. The slit member includes an inner member made of graphite and an outer member made of another refractory metal material. The outer member includes an outer surface exposed to an outside of the arc chamber. The inner member includes an inner surface exposed to the plasma generation space, and an opening portion which forms the front slit extending from the inner surface of the inner member to the outer surface of the outer member.

    摘要: An ion generator includes: an arc chamber which defines a plasma generation space; a cathode which emits thermoelectrons toward the plasma generation space; and a repeller which faces the cathode with the plasma generation space interposed therebetween. The arc chamber includes a box-shaped main body on which a front side is open, and a slit member which is mounted to the front side of the main body and provided with a front slit for extracting ions. An inner surface of the main body which is exposed to the plasma generation space is made of a refractory metal material, and an inner surface of the slit member which is exposed to the plasma generation space is made of graphite.

    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.
