Ion Implantation

04 Thermal Processing, Implant, Doping & Oxidation

Definition

Ion implantation is a semiconductor doping and materials-modification process in which ionized species are accelerated to controlled energies and directed into a substrate.

Application

Ion implantation sets dopant species, dose, energy, and angle to form wells, source/drain extensions, threshold-adjust regions, and other engineered profiles before subsequent activation or damage-repair anneals.
