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.

Abstract: An ion implanter for manufacturing a single crystal film by extracting a hydrogen ion or a rare-gas ion from an ion source, selects a desired ion with a first sector electromagnet, scanning the ion with a scanner, collimates the ion with a second sector electromagnet, and implants it into a substrate; the ion source is configured to be located close to the entrance side focal point of the first sector electromagnet. In this case, when an aperture of an extraction section of the ion source is circular and entrance side focal points in a deflection surface and a surface perpendicular thereto in the first sector electromagnet are coincident, the ion beam after passing the first sector electromagnet becomes completely parallel in the two surfaces and the spot shape becomes a circle.

This makes it possible to provide a spherical aberration correction decelerating lens which converges a beam, emitted from the sample and having high energy and a large divergence angle, onto an image plane.

Abstract: A shielding assembly for use in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, such as an ion implantation apparatus, includes one or more removable shielding members configured to cover inner surfaces of a mass analyzing chamber. The shielding assembly reduces process by-products from accumulating on the inner surfaces. In one embodiment, a shielding assembly includes first and second shielding members, each having a unitary construction and configured to cover a magnetic area in the mass analyzing chamber.

Abstract: A method and a device for determining the distance from the sample to be examined to at least one reference point which function independently of the type of sample. A signal is modulated to a first potential of a sample and a primary particle beam is directed at the sample, resulting in a secondary particle beam being formed by an interaction, the particles of this beam having the modulated signal. The particles of the secondary particle beam and the signal modulated to the potential of the particles of the secondary particle beam are detected. By comparing the detected modulated signal to a reference signal, the distance is determined from the relationship between the reference signal and the detected modulated signal. The device has the corresponding components for implementing the method.
