Beam Line

04 Thermal Processing, Implant, Doping & Oxidation

Definition

The ion-implant subsystem that transports and conditions ions from the source to the wafer using elements such as extraction optics, analyzing or filter magnets, acceleration or deceleration stages, focusing and angle-control components.

Application

Used to select the desired implant species and charge state, control ion energy and incidence angle, suppress contamination, shape the beam and deliver a repeatable dose to the wafer.
