    摘要: A magnetic deflector for an ion beam is disclosed and comprises first and second coils. The coils are positioned above and below the beam, respectively, and extend along a width of the beam. Current passes through the coils to generate a magnetic field therebetween that is generally perpendicular to a direction of travel of the beam along substantially the entire width thereof. In another aspect of the invention, a method of deflecting a beam prior to implantation into a workpiece is disclosed. The method includes determining one or more properties associated with the beam and selectively activating one of a magnetic deflection module and an electrostatic deflection module based on the determination.

    摘要: A lens structure for use with an ion beam implanter. The lens structure includes first and second electrodes spaced apart along a direction of ion movement. The lens structure extends on opposite sides of a beam path across a width of the ion beam for deflecting ions entering the lens structure. The lens structure include a first electrode for decelerating ions and a second electrode for accelerating the ions to cause ions entering the lens structure to exit said lens structure with approximately the same exit trajectory regardless of the trajectory ions enter the lens structure. In an alternate construction the lens structure can include a first electrode for accelerating ions and a second electrode for decelerating ions.

    摘要: An accelerating structure and related method for accelerating/decelerating ions of an ion beam are disclosed. The structure and related method are suitable for use in selectively implanting ions into a workpiece or wafer during semiconductor fabrication to selectively dope areas of the wafer. In addition to accelerating and/or decelerating ions, aspects of the present invention serve to focus as well as to deflect ions of an ion beam. This is accomplished by routing the ion beam through electrodes having potentials developed thereacross. The ion beam is also decontaminated as electrically neutral contaminants within the beam are not affected by the potentials and continue on generally traveling along an original path of the ion beam. The electrodes are also arranged in such a fashion so as to minimize the distance the beam has to travel, thereby mitigating the opportunity for beam blow up.

    摘要: One or more aspects of the present invention pertain to determining a relative orientation between an ion beam and lattice structure of a workpiece into which ions are to be selectively implanted by the ion beam, and calibrating an ion implantation system in view of the relative orientation. The beam to lattice structure orientation is determined, at least in part, by directing a divergent ion beam at the workpiece and finding the angle of the aspect of the divergent beam that implants ions substantially parallel to crystal planes of the workpiece, and thus causes a small amount of damage to the lattice structure.
