In one embodiment, the architecture includes an acceleration/deceleration parallelizing lens system for receiving a fanned ribbon ion beam and for at least parallelizing (and perhaps also accelerate or decelerate) the fanned ribbon ion beam into a substantially parallel ribbon ion beam, and an energy filter system downstream from the acceleration/deceleration parallelizing lens system and prior to a work piece to be implanted by the substantially parallel ribbon ion beam. The acceleration/deceleration parallelizing lens system includes lenses for at least parallelizing (and perhaps also accelerate or decelerate) the fanned ribbon ion beam and acceleration/deceleration lenses for accelerating or decelerating the substantially parallel ribbon ion beam. The parallelizing lens allows delivery of a high current ribbon ion beam to the work piece with energy that can extend down to as low as approximately 200 eV. The energy filter system provides a substantially parallel ribbon ion beam that is substantially free of energy contamination.

摘要： Methods of ion implantation and ion sources used for the same are provided. The methods involve generating ions from a source feed gas that comprises multiple elements. For example, the source feed gas may comprise boron and at least two other elements (e.g., XaBbYc). The use of such source feed gases can lead to a number of advantages over certain conventional processes including enabling use of higher implant energies and beam currents when forming implanted regions having ultra-shallow junction depths. Also, in certain embodiments, the composition of the source feed gas may be selected to be thermally stable at relatively high temperatures (e.g., greater than 350° C.) which allows use of such gases in many conventional ion sources (e.g., indirectly heated cathode (IHC), Bernas) which generate such temperatures during use.

摘要： A microchannel plate for detecting neutrons includes a hydrogen-rich polymer substrate that defines a plurality of channels extending from a top surface of the substrate to a bottom surface of the substrate, where neutrons interact with the plurality of channels to generate at least one secondary electron. A top electrode is positioned on the top surface of the substrate and a bottom electrode is positioned on the bottom surface of the substrate. A resistive layer is formed over an outer surface of the plurality of channels that provides ohmic conduction with a resistivity that is substantially constant. An emissive layer is formed over the resistive layer. Neutron interaction products interact with the plurality of channels defined by the substrate and the emissive films to generate secondary electrons that cascade within the plurality of channels to provide an amplified signal related to the detection of neutrons.

摘要： An electrostatic quadrupole lens assembly (60) is provided for an ion implanter (10) having an axis (86) along which an ion beam passes, comprising: (i) four electrodes (84a-84d) oriented radially outward from the axis (86), approximately 90° apart from each other, such that a first pair of electrodes (84a and 84c) oppose each other approximately 180° apart, and a second pair of electrodes (84b and 84d) also oppose each other approximately 180° apart; (ii) a housing (62) having a mounting surface (64) for mounting the assembly (60) to the implanter, the housing at least partially enclosing the four electrodes (84a-84d); (iii) a first electrical lead (104) for providing electrical power to the first pair of electrodes (84a and 84c); (iv) a second electrical lead (108) for providing electrical power to the second pair of electrodes (84b and 84d); and (v) a plurality of electrically insulating members (92) formed of a glass-like material, comprising at least a first electrically insulating member for attaching the first pair of electrodes (84a and 84c) to the housing, and at least a second electrically insulating member for attaching the second pair of electrodes (84b and 84d) to the housing.
