A system, apparatus, and method is provided for preventing condensation on a workpiece in an end station of an ion implantation system. A workpiece is cooled in a first environment, and is transferred to a load lock chamber that is in selective fluid communication with the end station and a second environment, respectively. A workpiece temperature monitoring device is configured to measure a temperature of the workpiece in the load lock chamber. An external monitoring device measures a temperature and relative humidity in the second environment, and a controller is configured to determine a temperature of the workpiece at which condensation will not form on the workpiece when the workpiece is transferred from the load lock chamber to the second environment. |
