    Abstract: A terminal system (102) for an ion implantation system has an ion source (108) with a housing and extraction electrode assembly having one or more aperture plates. A gas box (152) is electrically coupled to the ion source. A gas source (148) is within the gas box to provide a gas at substantially the same electrical potential as the ion source assembly. A bleed gas conduit (154, 172, 174) introduces the gas to a region internal to the housing of the ion source and upstream of at least one of the aperture plates. The bleed gas conduit has one or more feed-throughs extending through a body of the ion source assembly, such as a hole in a mounting flange of the ion source. The mounting flange may be a tubular portion having a channel. The bleed gas conduit can further have a gas distribution apparatus (172) defined as a gas distribution ring (174). The gas distribution ring can generally encircle the tubular portion of the mounting flange.

    Abstract: An optics plate for an ion implantation system, the optics plate comprising a pair of aperture assemblies. Each pair of aperture assemblies respectively comprises a first aperture member, a second aperture member; and an aperture fastener, wherein the aperture fastener fastens the first aperture member to the second aperture member. An aperture tip may be also fastened to the second aperture member. One or more of the first aperture member, second aperture member, aperture tip, and aperture fastener is made of one or more of a refractory metal, tungsten, lanthanated tungsten alloy, yttrium tungsten alloy, and/or graphite and silicon carbide. The aperture assemblies may define an extraction electrode assembly, a ground electrode assembly, or other electrode assembly in the ion implantation system.

    Abstract: A method and a system is provided for reducing particle contamination in an ion implantation system (100), wherein an ion implantation system having an ion source (120), mass analyzer (136), resolving aperture (138), decel suppression plate (146), and end station (106) is provided. An ion beam (114) is formed via the ion source, and a workpiece (110) is transferred between an external environment and the end station for ion implantation thereto. A decel suppression voltage (148) applied to the decel suppression plate is modulated concurrent with the workpiece transfer, therein causing the ion beam to expand and contract, wherein one or more surfaces of the resolving aperture and/or one or more components downstream of the resolving aperture are impacted by the ion beam, therein mitigating subsequent contamination of workpieces from previously deposited material residing on the one or more surfaces. The contamination can be mitigated by removing the previously deposited material or strongly adhering the previously deposited material to the one or more surfaces.

    Abstract: An ion source has arc chamber having one or more radiation generating features, an arc chamber body enclosing an internal volume, and at least one gas inlet aperture defined therein. A gas source provides a gas such as a source species gas or a halide through the gas inlet aperture. The source species gas can be an aluminum-based ion source material such as dimethylaluminum chloride (DMAC). One or more shields positioned proximate to the gas inlet aperture provide a fluid communication between the gas inlet aperture and the internal volume, minimize a line-of-sight from the one or more radiation generating features to the gas inlet aperture, and substantially prevent thermal radiation from reaching the gas inlet aperture from the one or more radiation generating features.

    Abstract: An ion implantation system, ion source, and method are provided having a gaseous aluminum-based ion source material. The gaseous aluminum-based ion source material can be, or include, dimethylaluminum chloride (DMAC), where the DMAC is a liquid that transitions into vapor phase at room temperature. An ion source receives and ionizes the gaseous aluminum-based ion source material to form an ion beam. A low-pressure gas bottle supplies the DMAC as a gas to an arc chamber of the ion source by a primary gas line. A separate, secondary gas line supplies a co-gas, such as a fluorine-containing molecule, to the ion source, where the co-gas and DMAC reduce an energetic carbon cross-contamination and/or increase doubly charged aluminum.
