US Patent:
7476877, Jan 13, 2009
Filed:
Feb 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/353820
Inventors:
Russell J. Low - Rowley MA, US
George M. Gammel - Marblehead MA, US
Peter F. Kurunczi - Somerville MA, US
Eric Cobb - Danvers MA, US
Assignee:
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. - Gloucester MA
International Classification:
H01J 37/30
US Classification:
25049221, 250397
Abstract:
A charge monitoring system may include a platen having a surface configured to accept a wafer thereon, and a charge monitor disposed relative to the platen so that an ion beam simultaneously strikes a portion of the charge monitor and a portion of the wafer. The charge monitor is configured to provide a charge monitor signal representative of a charge on a surface of the wafer when the ion beam simultaneously strikes the portion of the charge monitor and the portion of the wafer. The charge monitor signal may depend, at least in part, on a beam potential of the ion beam.

US Classification:
25049221, 250423 R, 250396 R, 250397, 250398, 31511181
Abstract:
An electrode assembly for use with an ion source chamber or as part of an ion implanter processing system to provide a uniform ion beam profile. The electrode assembly includes an electrode having an extraction slot with length L aligned with an aperture of the ion source chamber for extracting an ion beam. The electrode includes a plurality of segments partitioned within the length of the extraction slot where each of the segments is configured to be displaced in at least one direction with respect to the ion beam. A plurality of actuators are connected to the plurality of electrode segments for displacing one or more of the segments. By displacing at least one of the plurality of electrode segments, the current density of a portion of the ion beam corresponding to the position of the segment within the extraction slot is modified to provide a uniform current density beam profile associated with the extracted ion beam.

Ion Source Cleaning End Point Detection

US Patent:
8003959, Aug 23, 2011
Filed:
Jun 26, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/492894
Inventors:
Wilhelm P. Platow - Somerville MA, US
Neil J. Bassom - Hamilton MA, US
Peter F. Kurunczi - Cambridge MA, US
Alexander S. Perel - Danvers MA, US
Craig R. Chaney - Lanesville MA, US
Assignee:
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. - Gloucester MA
International Classification:
H01J 37/317
H01J 37/08
H01J 49/10
H01J 27/02
H01J 9/38
US Classification:
25049221, 134 11, 134 221
Abstract:
In an ion implanter, a Faraday cup is utilized to receive an ion beam generated during ion source cleaning. The detected beam has an associated mass spectrum which indicates when the ion source cleaning process is complete. The mass spectrum results in a signal composed of a cleaning agent and the material comprising the ion source. This signal will rise over time as the ion source chamber is being cleaned and will level-off and remain constant once the deposits are etched away from the source chamber, thereby utilizing existing implant tools to determine endpoint detection during ion source cleaning.
