    摘要: Techniques for independently controlling deflection, deceleration, and focus of an ion beam are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as an apparatus for independently controlling deflection, deceleration, and focus of an ion beam. The apparatus may comprise an electrode configuration comprising a set of upper electrodes disposed above an ion beam and a set of lower electrodes disposed below the ion beam. The set of upper electrodes and the set of lower electrodes may be positioned symmetrically about a central ray trajectory of the ion beam. A difference in potentials between the set of upper electrodes and the set of lower electrodes may also be varied along the central ray trajectory to reflect an energy of the ion beam at each point along the central ray trajectory for independently controlling deflection, deceleration, and focus of an ion beam.

    摘要: An ion source includes an arc chamber having an extraction aperture, and a plasma sheath modulator. The plasma sheath modulator is configured to control a shape of a boundary between plasma and a plasma sheath proximate the extraction aperture. The plasma sheath modulator may include a pair of insulators positioned in the arc chamber and spaced apart by a gap positioned proximate the extraction aperture. A well focused ion beam having a high current density can be generated by the ion source. A high current density ion beam can improve the throughput of an associated process. The emittance of the ion beam can also be controlled.

    摘要: An ion implanter includes an ion source for generating an ion beam, an analyzer for separating unwanted components from the ion beam, a first beam transport device for transporting the ion beam through the analyzer at a first transport energy, a first deceleration stage positioned downstream of the analyzer for decelerating the ion beam from the first transport energy to a second transport energy, a beam filter positioned downstream of the first deceleration stage for separating neutral particles from the ion beam, a second beam transport device for transporting the ion beam through the beam filter at the second transport energy, a second deceleration stage positioned downstream of the beam filter for decelerating the ion beam from the second transport energy to a final energy, and a target site for supporting a target for ion implantation. The ion beam is delivered to the target site at the final energy. In a double deceleration mode, the second transport energy is greater than the final energy for highest current at low energy. In an enhanced drift mode, the second transport energy is equal to the final energy for highest beam purity at low energy.

    摘要: A system for manipulating an ion beam having a principal axis includes an upper member having a first and a second coil generally disposed in different regions of the upper member and configured to conduct, independently of each other, a first and a second current, respectively. A lower member includes a third and a fourth coil that are generally disposed opposite to respective first and second coils and are configured to conduct, independently of each other, a third and a fourth current, respectively. A lens gap is defined between the upper and lower members, and configured to transmit the ion beam, wherein the first through fourth currents produce a 45 degree quadrupole field that exerts a rotational force on the ion beam about its principal axis.
