    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for mitigating contamination associated with ion implantation are provided. An ion source, end station, and mass analyzer positioned between the ion source and the end station are provided, wherein an ion beam is formed from the ion source and selectively travels through the mass analyzer to the end station, based on a position of a beam stop assembly. The beam stop assembly selectively prevents the ion beam from entering and/or exiting the mass analyzer, therein minimizing contamination associated with an unstable ion source during transition periods such as a start-up of the ion implantation system.

    Abstract: A multi-beam pattern definition device for use in a particle-beam processing or inspection apparatus, which is set up to be irradiated with a beam of electrically charged particles and allow passage of the beam through a plurality of apertures thus forming beamlets, which are imaged onto a target. A deflection array has a plurality of electrostatic deflector electrodes for each beamlet. Each deflector electrode can be applied an electrostatic potential individually. Counter electrodes are electrically connected to a counter potential independently of the deflection array through a counter-electrode array. The counter potentials may be a common ground potential or individual potentials in order to improve system reliability. In conjunction with an associated counter electrode, each deflector electrode deflects its beamlet sufficiently to deflect the beamlet off its nominal path when applied an activating voltage against the respective counter electrode.

    Abstract: A beam line before incidence on a beam scanner is arranged with an injector flag Faraday cup that detects a beam current by measuring a total beam amount of an ion beam to be able to be brought in and out thereto and therefrom. When the ion beam is shut off by placing the injector flag Faraday cup on a beam trajectory line, the ion beam impinges on graphite provided at the injector flag Faraday cup. At this occasion, even when the graphite is sputtered by the ion beam, since the injector flag Faraday cup is arranged on an upstream side of the beam scanner and the ion beam is shut off by the injector flag Faraday cup, particles of the sputtered graphite do not adhere to a peripheral member of the injector flag Faraday cup.

    Abstract: An ion implantation apparatus according to the invention includes a park electrode as a deflecting apparatus arranged at a section of a beam line from an outlet of a mass analysis magnet apparatus to a front side of a mass analysis slit for deflecting an ion beam in a predetermined direction of being deviated from a beam trajectory line by an operation of an electric field. When the ion beam does not satisfy a desired condition, a park voltage is applied to the park electrode, thereby, the ion beam is brought into an evacuated state by being deflected from the beam trajectory line. As a result, the ion beam cannot pass through the mass analysis slit, and therefore, the ion beam which does not arrive at a wafer to prevent the ion beam which does not satisfy the condition from being irradiated to the wafer.
