TECHNIQUE FOR IMPROVING ION IMPLANTATION THROUGHPUT AND DOSE UNIFORMITY

摘要

A technique for improving ion implantation throughput and dose uniformity is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a method for improving ion implantation throughput and dose uniformity may comprise measuring an ion beam density distribution in an ion beam. The method may also comprise calculating an ion dose distribution across a predetermined region of a workpiece that results from a scan velocity profile, wherein the scan velocity profile comprises a first component and a second component that control a relative movement between the ion beam and the workpiece in a first direction and a second direction respectively, and wherein the ion dose distribution is based at least in part on the ion beam density distribution. The method may further comprise adjusting at least one of the first component and the second component of the scan velocity profile to achieve a desired ion dose distribution in the predetermined region of the workpiece.
