    Abstract: A combined round-multipole magnetic lens comprises a coil bracket, a first pole piece and a second pole piece. At least a first pole shoe of the first pole piece on the coil support and at least a second pole shoe of the second pole piece under the coil support respectively extend towards the central axis. The first pole shoe and the second pole shoe are symmetric according to the central axis, or the first pole shoes and the second pole shoes are respectively symmetrically arranged, and the angle difference between the first pole shoe and the adjacent second pole shoes is 360/2N degrees. A magnetic circuit gap is formed between the first pole shoe and the adjacent second pole shoe, for generating a magnetic field distribution of multi-poles and reducing the volume and the number of power supplies.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus satisfying growing demands for improving the precision of angle of incidence of implanting ions that impact a semiconductor wafer and the precision of ribbon ion beams for uniform doping of wafers as they pass under an ion beam. The method and apparatus are directed to the design and combination together of novel magnetic ion-optical transport elements for implantation purposes. The design of the optical elements makes possible: (1) Broad-range adjustment of the width of a ribbon beam at the work piece; (2) Correction of inaccuracies in the intensity distribution across the width of a ribbon beam; (3) Independent steering about both X and Y axes; (4) Angle of incidence correction at the work piece; and (5) Approximate compensation for the beam expansion effects arising from space charge. In a practical situation, combinations of the elements allow ribbon beam expansion between source and work piece to 350 millimeter, with good uniformity and angular accuracy. Also, the method and apparatus may be used for introducing quadrupole fields along a beam line.
