Enhancements to existing High Current Ion Implanter beamlines can extend the use of this equipment to provide an operational bridge to the technology node of 0.18pm. Through iterative improvements, the Eaton GSDZOO has been modified to provide 4.5 times the beam current originally available for low energy boron production. This equipment uniquely supports modifications to the beam transport optics due to the design of the triple index analyzing magnet. In addition, space charge neutralization methods and beamline length reductions provide enhanced performance. Low energy boron beam current results and considerations for operation of traditional High Current equipment at sub-l0keV will also be explored.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
