Abstract: A monitor vehicle for a rail system includes a wheeled trolley, an overhead vehicle, a supporting structure, and a first sensor. The wheeled trolley is above a rail of the rail system, is operable to move over the rail, and has a bottom surface. The overhead vehicle body is suspended by the wheeled trolley and below the rail. The supporting structure connects the wheeled trolley and the overhead vehicle body. The first sensor is on the bottom surface of the wheeled trolley and is configured to detect a first parameter of the rail of the rail system.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and a method for an ion implantation (IMP) process. The system includes an ion implanter configured to scan an ion beam over a target for a range of angles, a tilting mechanism configured to support and tilt the target, an ion-collecting device configured to collect a distribution and a number of ejected ions from the ion beam scan over the target, and a control unit configured to adjust a tilt angle based on a correction angle determined based on the distribution and number of ejected ions.
