    Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for shutting down and restoring an ion beam in an ion beam system. Preferred embodiments provide a system for improved power control of a focused ion beam source, which utilizes an automatic detection of when a charged particle beam system is idle (the beam itself is not in use) and then automatically reducing the beam current to a degree where little or no ion milling occurs at any aperture plane in the ion column. Preferred embodiments include a controller operable to modify voltage to an extractor electrode and/or to reduce voltage to a source electrode when idle state of an ion source of the charged particle beam system is detected.

    Abstract: In a multi-energy ion implantation process, an ion implanting system having an ion source, an extraction assembly, and an electrode assembly is used to implant ions into a target. An ion beam having a first energy may be generated using the ion source and the extraction assembly. A first voltage may be applied across the electrode assembly. The ion beam may enter the electrode assembly at the first energy, exit the electrode assembly at a second energy, and implant ions into the target at the second energy. A second voltage may be applied across the electrode assembly. The ion beam may enter the electrode assembly at the first energy, exit the electrode assembly at a third energy, and implants ions into the target at the third energy. The third energy may be different from the second energy.

    Abstract: A novel process for using enriched and highly enriched dopant gases is provided herein that eliminates the problems currently encountered by end-users from being able to realize the process benefits associated with ion implanting such dopant gases. For a given flow rate within a prescribed range, operating at a reduced total power level of the ion source is designed to reduce the ionization efficiency of the enriched dopant gas compared to that of its corresponding non-enriched or lesser enriched dopant gas. The temperature of the source filament is also reduced, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of fluorine etching and ion source shorting when a fluorine-containing enriched dopant gas is utilized. The reduced levels of total power in combination with a lower ionization efficiency and lower ion source temperature can interact synergistically to improve and extend ion source life, while beneficially maintaining a beam current that does not unacceptably deviate from previously qualified levels.
