An apparatus comprises an ionization chamber for providing ions during a process of ion implantation, and an electron beam source device inside the ionization chamber. The electron beam source device comprises a field emission array having a plurality of emitters for generating electrons in vacuum under an electric field.
摘要:
A method of driving-in antimony into a wafer, including the following steps. A wafer is loaded into an annealing furnace/tool. The wafer having an area of implanted antimony ions. The wafer is annealed a first time at a first temperature in the presence of only a first nitrogen gas flow rate. The wafer is ramped-down from the first temperature to a second temperature in the presence of only an oxygen gas flow rate. The wafer is maintained in the presence of the of oxygen gas flow rate at the second temperature. The wafer is ramped-up from the second temperature to a third temperature in the presence of only the oxygen gas flow rate. The wafer is annealed a second time at the third temperature in the presence of only a second nitrogen gas flow rate to drive-in the antimony ions within the area of implanted antimony.
摘要:
An apparatus comprises a plasma flood gun for neutralizing a positive charge buildup on a semiconductor wafer during a process of ion implantation using an ion beam. The plasma flood gun comprises more than two arc chambers, wherein each arc chamber is configured to generate and release electrons into the ion beam in a respective zone adjacent to the semiconductor wafer.
