    Abstract: A method includes receiving an input signal representative of a desired two-dimensional non-uniform dose pattern for a front surface of a workpiece, driving the workpiece relative to an ion beam to distribute the ion beam across the front surface of the workpiece, and controlling at least one parameter of an ion implanter when the ion beam is incident on the front surface of the workpiece to directly create the desired two-dimensional non-uniform dose pattern in one pass of the front surface of workpiece relative to the ion beam. The beam may be a scanned beam or a ribbon beam. An ion implanter is also provided.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus that introduce, within the ion implant chamber or an isolated chamber in communication therewith, the capability to remove contaminants and oxide surface layers on a wafer surface prior to ion implantation, are disclosed. The mechanisms for removal of contaminants include conducting: a low energy plasma etch, heating the wafer and application of ultraviolet illumination, either in combination or individually. As a result, implantation can occur immediately after the cleaning/preparation process without the contamination potential of exposure of the wafer to an external environment. The preparation allows for the removal of surface contaminants, such as water vapor, organic materials and surface oxides.

    Abstract: Techniques for temperature-controlled ion implantation are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as an apparatus for temperature-controlled ion implantation. The apparatus may comprise at least one thermal sensor adapted to measure a temperature of a wafer during an ion implantation process inside an end station of an ion implanter. The apparatus may also comprise a thermal conditioning unit coupled to the end station. The apparatus may further comprise a controller in communication with the thermal sensor and the thermal conditioning unit, wherein the controller compares the measured temperature to a desired wafer temperature and causes the thermal conditioning unit to adjust the temperature of the wafer based upon the comparison.
