Throughput enhancement for scanned beam ion implanters

摘要

An ion implantation system that optimizes productivity that includes an ion generator configured to implant ions into a workpiece by scanning the ions along an axis in a first direction, a movable stage configured to move the workpiece in a second direction generally orthogonal to the first direction, an ion detection component configured to measure ion dosage at approximately an outer edge of the workpiece, a first direction driver that receives commands from the controller to move in a fast scan speed on wafer or a fast scan speed off wafer and a second direction driver that receives commands from the controller to move the workpiece movable stage in a slow scan speed
