    Abstract: An ion implanter includes a high-voltage power supply, a control unit that generates a command signal controlling an output voltage of the high-voltage power supply, an electrode unit to which the output voltage is applied, and a measurement unit that measures an actual voltage applied to the electrode unit. The control unit includes a first generation section that generates a first command signal for allowing the high-voltage power supply to output a target voltage, a second generation section that generates a second command signal for complementing the first command signal so that the actual voltage measured by the measurement unit becomes or close to the target voltage, and a command section that brings to the high-voltage power supply a synthetics command signal which is produced by synthesizing the first command signal and the second command signal.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for operating a plasma processing chamber. In particular, a periodic voltage function combined with an ion current compensation can be provided as a bias to a substrate support as a modified periodic voltage function. This in turn effects a DC bias on the surface of the substrate that controls an ion energy of ions incident on a surface of the substrate. A peak-to-peak voltage of the periodic voltage function can control the ion energy, while the ion current compensation can control a width of an ion energy distribution function of the ions. Measuring the modified periodic voltage function can provide a means to calculate an ion current in the plasma and a sheath capacitance of the plasma sheath. The ion energy distribution function can be tailored and multiple ion energy peaks can be generated, both via control of the modified periodic voltage function.

    Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of managing fluctuations in power supplied to a semiconductor processing apparatus that includes monitoring the power supplied to the apparatus to detect the occurrence of a power fluctuation event during a semiconductor processing session. Upon detection of a power fluctuation event, the semiconductor processing can be interrupted. After the end of the power fluctuation event, at least one operational parameter of the apparatus, e.g., vacuum level in an evacuated processing chamber, can be measured, and the semiconductor processing can be resumed when the measured operational parameter is within an acceptable range. The measured operational parameter can preferably include a parameter that recovers more slowly than others when adversely affected by a power fluctuation event.
