A method of in-situ monitoring of a plasma doping process includes generating a plasma comprising dopant ions in a chamber proximate to a platen supporting a substrate. A platen is biased with a bias voltage waveform having a negative potential that attracts ions in the plasma to the substrate for plasma doping. A dose of ions attracted to the substrate is measured. At least one sensor measurement is performed to determine the condition of the plasma chamber. In addition, at least one plasma process parameter is modified in response to the measured dose and in response to the at least one sensor measurement.

A method to provide a dopant profile adjustment solution in plasma doping systems for meeting both concentration and junction depth requirements. Bias ramping and bias ramp rate adjusting may be performed to achieve a desired dopant profile so that surface peak dopant profiles and retrograde dopant profiles are realized. The method may include an amorphization step in one embodiment.

The at least one aperture may comprise at least one of a circular, arc-shaped, slit-shaped, ring-shaped, rectangular, triangular, and elliptical shape. The aperture-defining device may comprise at least one of silicon, silicon carbide, carbon, and graphite.
