摘要: An insulator for an ion implantation source may provide electrical insulation between high voltage components and relatively lower voltage components of the ion implantation source. To reduce the likelihood of and/or prevent a leakage path forming along the insulator, the insulator may include an internal cavity having a back and forth pattern. The back and forth pattern of the internal cavity increases the mean free path of gas molecules in the ion implantation source and increases the surface area of the insulator that is not directly or outwardly exposed to the gas molecules. This results in a continuous film or coating being more difficult and/or less likely to form along the insulator, which extends the working time of the ion implantation source.

摘要: An ion implantation system, ion source, and method are provided having a gaseous aluminum-based ion source material. The gaseous aluminum-based ion source material can be, or include, dimethylaluminum chloride (DMAC), where the DMAC is a liquid that transitions into vapor phase at room temperature. An ion source receives and ionizes the gaseous aluminum-based ion source material to form an ion beam. A low-pressure gas bottle supplies the DMAC as a gas to an arc chamber of the ion source by a primary gas line. A separate, secondary gas line supplies a co-gas, such as a fluorine-containing molecule, to the ion source, where the co-gas and DMAC reduce an energetic carbon cross-contamination and/or increase doubly charged aluminum.

摘要: In order to improve the processing reproducibility, an ion milling device 100 includes a sample chamber 107, a sample stage 102 that is disposed in the sample chamber on which a sample is placed, an ion source 101 that emits an unfocused ion beam toward the sample, a control unit 112 that controls an output of the ion beam, an oscillator 104 that is disposed in the sample chamber, and an oscillation circuit 111 that oscillates the oscillator and outputs an oscillation signal to the control unit, in which the control unit controls the output of the ion beam such that a vibrational frequency change amount of the oscillator per unit time due to deposition of sputtered particles generated by irradiating the sample with the ion beam on the oscillator is kept within a predetermined range.

摘要: An ion beam irradiation apparatus includes modules for generating an ion beam according to a recipe, and a control device. The control device receives the recipe including a processing condition for new processing, reads, from a monitored value storage, a monitored value that indicates a state of a module during a last processing immediately before the new processing, inputs the processing condition and the monitored value to a trained machine learning algorithm and receives, as an output from the trained machine learning algorithm, an initial value for the module, and outputs the initial value to the module to set up the module for generating the ion beam.

摘要: A repeller assembly mounts in an arc chamber of an ion implanter. The repeller assembly contains a repeller, a tubular insert, first and second insulators, a contact member, and a lock member. The repeller has a knob-shaped body placed on an inner side of the arc chamber opposite to a cathode assembly. A repeller shaft is arranged extending through an opening of a wall of the arc chamber to an outer side. The repeller shaft has a step narrowing down the repeller shaft. The tubular insert is mounted concentrically to the repeller shaft. The first insulator has a collar shape and is attached to the tubular insert so that an inner shoulder of the first insulator is pressed against an outer side of the wall of the arc chamber. The second insulator is cap-nut shaped and is attached to the first insulator with an outer flange thereof.
