摘要： An ion beam is sensed with a beam current sensor which has a sensing aperture that is smaller than a cross-sectional dimension of the ion beam at the beam current sensor. The sensed ion beam current is indicative of ion beam position relative to a desired ion beam path. The ion beam position may be adjusted if the sensed ion beam position differs from the desired ion beam path. One or more beam current sensors may be utilized in an ion implanter for calibration and/or alignment. The beam current sensor may be utilized to determine a relation between a characteristic of an ion beam, such as magnetic rigidity, and a parameter of a system element, such as magnetic field, required to direct the ion beam along a desired ion beam path.

摘要： A system, method and program product for determining contamination of an ion beam are disclosed. In the event of an isobaric interference, or near isobaric interference between a contaminant ion and an expected ion of an ion beam, which is difficult to detect, it is possible to measure a third ion in the ion beam and estimate, based on the amount of the third ion measured, a relative amount of the contaminant ion compared to the expected ion. The estimated relative amount of the contaminant ion is used together with a measured mass resolution of the ion implantation system to determine whether an ion implantation process needs to be suspended.

摘要： An ion beam tuning method, system and program product for tuning an ion implanter system are disclosed. The invention obtains an ion beam profile of the ion beam by, for example, scanning the ion beam across a profiler that is within an implant chamber; and tunes the ion implanter system to maximize an estimated implant current based on the ion beam profile to simultaneously optimize total ion beam current and ion beam spot width, and maximize implant current. In addition, the tuning can also position the ion beam along a desired ion beam path based on the feedback of the spot beam center, which improves ion implanter system productivity and performance by reducing ion beam setup time and provides repeatable beam angle performance for each ion beam over many setups.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for improving space charge neutralization adjacent a magnet of an ion implanter by confining the electrons inside a magnetic region thereof to reduce electron losses and therefore improve the transport efficiency of a low energy beam. A magnetic pole member for a magnet of an ion implanter is provided that includes an outer surface having a plurality of magnetic field concentration members that form magnetic field concentrations adjacent the magnetic pole member. Electrons that encounter this increased magnetic field are repelled back along the same magnetic field line rather than allowed to escape. An analyzer magnet and ion implanter including the magnet pole are also provided so that a method of improving low energy ion beam space charge neutralization in an ion implanter is realized.
