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.

The apparatus also includes a focusing plate arrangement having an aperture arrangement configured to modify a shape of a plasma sheath of the plasma proximate the focusing plate such that ions exiting an aperture of the aperture arrangement define focused ions. The apparatus further includes a processing chamber containing a workpiece spaced from the focusing plate such that a stationary implant region of the focused ions at the workpiece is substantially narrower that the aperture.

摘要： Methods of ion implantation and ion sources used for the same are provided. The methods involve generating ions from a source feed gas that comprises multiple elements. For example, the source feed gas may comprise boron and at least two other elements (e.g., XaBbYc). The use of such source feed gases can lead to a number of advantages over certain conventional processes including enabling use of higher implant energies and beam currents when forming implanted regions having ultra-shallow junction depths. Also, in certain embodiments, the composition of the source feed gas may be selected to be thermally stable at relatively high temperatures (e.g., greater than 350° C.) which allows use of such gases in many conventional ion sources (e.g., indirectly heated cathode (IHC), Bernas) which generate such temperatures during use.

摘要： A technique improving performance and lifetime of inductively heated cathode ion sources is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for improving performance and lifetime of an inductively heated cathode (IHC) ion source in an ion implanter. The method may comprise maintaining an arc chamber of the IHC ion source under vacuum during a maintenance of the ion implanter, wherein no gas is supplied to the arc chamber. The method may also comprise heating a cathode of the IHC ion source by supplying a filament with a current. The method may further comprise biasing the cathode with respect to the filament at a current level of 0.5-5 A without biasing the arc chamber with respect to the cathode. The method additionally comprise keeping a source magnet from producing a magnetic field inside the arc chamber.
