摘要:
In an irradiation system with an ion beam/charged particle beam having an energy filter, the energy filter is formed by deflection electrodes and a deflection magnet which can be switchingly used. The deflection magnet has a general window-frame shape and is formed with a hollow portion at its center. The deflection electrodes are installed, along with suppression electrodes, in a vacuum chamber arranged in the hollow portion of the deflection magnet. The deflection electrodes are installed with respect to the deflection magnet such that a deflection trajectory of a beam caused by a magnetic field and a deflection trajectory of a beam caused by an electric field overlap each other. Since the deflection electrodes and the deflection magnet can be switchingly used, the system can deal with a wider range of beam conditions and thus is widely usable.

A beam space-charge compensation device is applied to an angular energy filter provided in an ion beam processing system that performs processing by irradiating onto a wafer with an ion beam. The beam space-charge compensation device comprises a plasma shower provided in a beam-guiding chamber of the angular energy filter. The plasma shower comprises an arc chamber having a filament for generating thermo-electrons for plasma. The arc chamber comprises an extraction hole for extracting the thermo-electrons. The plasma shower is arranged such that the extraction hole is located on lines of magnetic force, perpendicular to an ion beam advancing direction, of the magnetic field and that a center axis of the filament and a center axis of said extraction hole coincide with the lines of magnetic force, perpendicular to the ion beam advancing direction, of the magnetic field.

In a beam processing apparatus including a beam scanner having a two electrodes type deflection scanning electrode, the beam scanner further includes shielding suppression electrode assemblies respectively at vicinities of upstream side and downstream side of the two electrodes type deflection scanning electrode and having openings in a rectangular shape for passing a charged particle beam. Each of the shielding suppression electrode assemblies is an assembly electrode comprising one sheet of a suppression electrode and two sheets of shielding ground electrodes interposing the suppression electrode. A total of front side portions and rear side portions of the two electrodes type deflection scanning electrode is shielded by the two sheets of shielding ground electrodes.

An ion implantation apparatus reciprocally scans an ion beam extracted from an ion source and passed through a mass analysis magnet apparatus and a mass analysis slit and irradiates to a wafer. The ion beam is converged and shaped by providing a first quadrupole vertical focusing electromagnet at a section of a beam line from an outlet of the mass analysis magnet apparatus before incidence of the mass analysis slit and providing a second quadrupole vertical focusing electromagnet having an effective magnetic field effect larger than that of the first quadrupole focusing electromagnet at a section of the beam line from an outlet of the mass analysis slit before incidence on the beam scanner.

摘要:
An ion implantation apparatus according to the invention includes a park electrode as a deflecting apparatus arranged at a section of a beam line from an outlet of a mass analysis magnet apparatus to a front side of a mass analysis slit for deflecting an ion beam in a predetermined direction of being deviated from a beam trajectory line by an operation of an electric field. When the ion beam does not satisfy a desired condition, a park voltage is applied to the park electrode, thereby, the ion beam is brought into an evacuated state by being deflected from the beam trajectory line. As a result, the ion beam cannot pass through the mass analysis slit, and therefore, the ion beam which does not arrive at a wafer to prevent the ion beam which does not satisfy the condition from being irradiated to the wafer.
