    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a switch circuit and method to quickly enable or disable the ion beam to a wafer within an ion implantation system. The beam control technique may be applied to wafer doping repaint and duty factor reduction. The circuit and method may be used to quench an arc that may form between high voltage electrodes associated with an ion source to shorten the duration of the arc and mitigate non-uniform ion implantations. The circuit and method facilitates repainting the ion beam over areas where an arc was detected to recover dose loss during such arcing. A high voltage high speed switching circuit is added between each high voltage supply and its respective electrode to quickly extinguish the arc to minimize disruption of the ion beam. The high voltage switch is controlled by a trigger circuit which detects voltage or current changes to each electrode. Protection circuits for the HV switch absorb energy from reactive components and clamp any overvoltages.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing a low energy, high current ion beam for ion implantation applications are disclosed. The apparatus includes a mass analysis magnet mounted in a passageway along the path of an ion beam, a power source adapted to provide an electric field in the passageway, and a magnetic device adapted to provide a multi-cusped magnetic field in the passageway, which may include a plurality of magnets mounted along at least a portion of the passageway. The power source and the magnets may cooperatively interact to provide an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) condition along at least a portion of the passageway. The multi-cusped magnetic field may be superimposed on the dipole field at a specified field strength in a region of the mass analyzer passageway to interact with an electric field of a known RF or microwave frequency for a given low energy ion beam. The invention further comprises a mass analyzer waveguide adapted to couple the electric field to the beam plasma consistently along the length of the mass analyzer passageway to thereby improve the creation of the ECR condition. The invention thus provides enhancement of beam plasma within a mass analyzer dipole magnetic field for low energy ion beams without the introduction of externally generated plasma. The invention further includes a method of providing ion beam containment in a low energy ion implantation system, as well as an ion implantation system.
