    摘要: Herein an improved technique for generating uniform ion beam is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for processing a substrate with an ion implanter comprising an ion source. The method may comprise: introducing dopant into an ion source chamber of the ion source, the dopant may comprise molecules containing boron and hydrogen; introducing diluent into the ion source chamber, the diluent containing halogen; ionizing the dopant and the diluent into molecular ions and halogen containing ions, the molecular ions containing boron and hydrogen; extracting the molecular ions and the halogen containing ions from the ions source chamber; and directing the molecular ions toward the substrate, where the halogen containing ions may improve uniformity of the molecular ions extracted from the ion source and extend the lifetime of the ion source.

    摘要: Liner elements to protect the ion source housing and also increase the power efficiency of the ion source are disclosed. Two liner elements, preferably constructed from tungsten, are inserted into the ion source chamber, one placed against each of the two sidewalls. These inserts are electrically biased so as to induce an electrical field that is perpendicular to the applied magnetic field. Such an arrangement has been unexpectedly found to increase the life of not only the ion chamber housing, but also the indirectly heated cathode (IHC) and the repeller. In addition, the use of these biased liner elements also improved the power efficiency of the ion source; allowing more ions to be generated at a given power level, or an equal number of ions to be generated at a lower power level.

    摘要: An ion source includes an arc chamber housing defining an arc chamber having an extraction aperture, and a wiper. The wiper is positioned within the arc chamber in a parked position and configured to be driven from the parked position to operational positions to clean the extraction aperture. A cleaning sub-assembly for an ion source includes a wiper configured to be positioned within an arc chamber of the ion source when in a parked position and driven from the parked position to operational positions to clean an extraction aperture of the ion source.
