Ion Beam Contamination Determination

View page
US Patent:
7402820, Jul 22, 2008
Filed:
Nov 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/289885
Inventors:
Russell Low - Rowley MA, US
Joseph C. Olson - Beverly MA, US
Antonella Cucchetti - Beverly MA, US
Anthony Renau - W. Newbury MA, US
Marie Welsch - Georgetown MA, US
Assignee:
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. - Gloucester MA
International Classification:
H01L 21/425
H01J 37/317
US Classification:
25049221
Abstract:
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.

Inventors:
Shengwu Chang - South Hamilton MA, US
Antonella Cucchetti - Beverly MA, US
Joseph P. Dzengeleski - Newton NH, US
Gregory R. Gibilaro - Topsfield MA, US
Rosario Mollica - Wilmington MA, US
Gregg A. Norris - Rockport MA, US

Assignee:
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. - Gloucester MA
International Classification:
H01J 37/317
US Classification:
25049221, 2504922, 250397, 250396 R
Abstract:
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.

Implant Uniformity Control

US Patent:
7820988, Oct 26, 2010
Filed:
Oct 2, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/244001
Inventors:
Victor M. Benveniste - Lyle WA, US
Antonella Cucchetti - Beverly MA, US
Assignee:
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. - Gloucester MA
International Classification:
H01J 37/317
H01L 21/265
US Classification:
25049221, 2504922, 2504923, 250396 R, 250423 R, 250424
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for ion implantation that include destabilizing the ion beam as it passes through magnetic field, preferably a dipole magnetic field is disclosed. By introducing a bias voltage at certain points within the magnetic field, electrons from the plasma are drawn toward the magnet, thereby causing the ion beam to expand due to space charge effects. The bias voltage can be introduced into the magnet in a region where the magnetic field has only one component. Alternatively, the bias voltage can be in a region wherein the magnetic field has two components.

Appl. No.:
11/695747
Inventors:
Atul Gupta - Beverly MA, US
Jay Scheuer - Rowley MA, US
Daniel Distaso - Merrimac MA, US
Antonella Cucchetti - Beverly MA, US
William G. Callahan - Rockport MA, US
International Classification:
G21K 5/00
G01D 18/00
US Classification:
2502521, 2504923
Abstract:
An approach that tunes an ion implanter for optimal performance is described. In one embodiment, there is a system for tuning an ion implanter having multiple beamline elements to generate an ion beam having desired beam properties. In this embodiment, the system comprises a beamline element settings controller configured to provide beamline element settings for generating the desired beam properties. A tuning model correlates the beamline element settings with beam properties. A calibration component is configured to calibrate the tuning model in response to a determination that beam properties measured from using the tuned beamline element settings differs from the determined tuned beamline element settings.

Methods And Apparatus For Alignment Of Ion Beam Systems Using Beam Current Sensors

View page
US Patent:
6403972, Jun 11, 2002
Filed:
Jul 8, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/349828
Inventors:
Antonella Cucchetti - Beverly MA
Joseph C. Olson - Beverly MA
Raymond L. Pelletier - Beverly MA
Keith Pierce - Ipswich MA
Anthony Renau - West Newbury MA
Donna Smatlak - Belmont MA
Assignee:
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. - Gloucester MA
International Classification:
H01J 3730
US Classification:
25049221, 250398
Abstract:
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.
