Implant Energy

04 Thermal Processing, Implant, Doping & Oxidation

Definition

Implant energy is the kinetic energy assigned to ions in an ion-implantation beam and is a primary control on their penetration depth in the target.

Application

Fabs select lower or higher implant energies to place dopants at shallow or deeper depths while combining energy with dose, angle, and subsequent activation anneals.
