Abstract: Operating an ion beam source comprises operating the ion beam source in a beam generation mode and operating the ion beam source in a decontamination mode. Operating in beam generation mode includes generating an ion beam from ions emitted from a tip. Operating in decontamination mode includes supplying power to a heating wire to raise the temperature of the heating wire to a decontamination temperature, measuring a change over time of a physical property indicating a temperature of the heating wire while the power is supplied to the heating wire, and displaying an indication based on the measured change over time of the physical property and/or storing a change value based on the measure change over time of the physical property. The ion beam source comprises the heating wire, a metal reservoir mechanically connected to the heating wire, and the tip mechanically connected to the metal reservoir.

Abstract: An etching apparatus includes a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate, a first ion source that generates first ions and irradiates the substrate with the first ions such that the first ions are incident on the substrate in the substrate holder at a first incident angle, and a second ion source that generates second ions and irradiates the substrate with the second ions such that the second ions are incident on the substrate at a second incident angle different from the first incident angle. A controller is provided that controls at least one of the first incident angle and the second incident angle by moving at least one of the first ion source and the second ion source.

Abstract: The current disclosure is directed to methods and assemblies configured to deliver a mixture of germanium tetrafluoride (GeF4) and hydrogen (H2) gases to an ion implantation apparatus, so H2 is present in an amount in the range of 25%-67% (volume) of the gas mixture, or the GeF4 and H2 are present in a volume ratio (GeF4:H2) in the range of 3:1 to 33:67. The use of the H2 gas in an amount in mixture or relative to the GeF4 gas prevents the volatilization of cathode material, thereby improving performance and lifetime of the ion implantation apparatus. Gas mixtures according to the disclosure also result in a significant Ge+ current gain and W+ peak reduction during au ion implantation procedure.
