    Abstract: A wafer aligning apparatus includes a laser sensor that generates a trigger signal, a CCD camera imaging a wafer in response to the trigger signal, a signal processing unit that calculates a center alignment correction value for the wafer, and a robot controller that receives the center alignment correction value to control movement of a transfer robot. The laser sensor generates the trigger signal in accordance with a change in reflected light detected by the laser sensor, the change in the amount of reflected light being detected by the laser sensor when a boundary between a blade of the transfer robot and a coupler of the transfer robot passes under the laser sensor.

    Abstract: An ion source element, an ion implanter having the ion source element and a method of modifying the ion source element are provided. In the ion source element, a chamber may have a cavity divided into a plurality of inner sections configured substantially perpendicularly to an axis defined through centers of ends of the cavity. The larger inner sections may be at, or near, a center of the cavity and become smaller toward the ends of the cavity. A filament may be disposed at one end of the chamber to emit thermal electrons. A repeller may extend into the chamber through the other end of the chamber. An inlet may be formed in a first cavity wall to introduce gas having a dopant species into the chamber. A beam slit may be formed in a second cavity wall, opposite the inlet, of the chamber to extract an ionized species of the gas from the chamber.

    Abstract: An electrostatic chuck to minimize an arc and a glow discharge during processing of a semiconductor substrate is provided, In one aspect, an electrostatic chuckin a processing chamber includes a body having a first hole for providing a cooling gas to a backside of a substrate to control a temperature of the substrate, an inner electrode for generating an electrostatic force and a dielectric layer. A ceramic block is tightly inserted into a first hole and has a second hole connected to the first hole. A third hole formed through the dielectric layer is connected to the first hole and the second hole. The cooling gas is provided to the backside of the substrate through the first hole or the second hole. Since the first hole is covered with the ceramic block, the generation of an arc or a glow discharge inside the first hole may be minimized, thereby preventing damage to the electrostatic chuck and improving production yields.

    Abstract: An apparatus for heating a substrate of a semiconductor device includes a hot plate, on which a semiconductor substrate is placed, and a heater for heating the hot plate. The hot plate is preferably a composite plate including a plurality of plates having different thermal conductivities from each other. For example, a first plate adjacent to the heater can be made of aluminum, which has a relatively high thermal conductivity. A second plate, laminated on top of the first plate, can be made of titanium or stainless steel, which both have a thermal conductivity lower than aluminum. A composite hot plate as disclosed herein is better able to maintain a constant temperature and a uniform temperature distribution in order to more uniformly heat a substrate and to reduce an amount of energy required for the heating process. In addition, the reliability and productivity of the semiconductor device manufactured by the apparatus can be improved.
