<p>A method and apparatus are disclosed for accelerating ions in an ion implantation system. An ion accelerator is provided which comprises a plurality of energizable electrodes energized by a variable frequency power source, in order to accelerate ions from an ion source. The variable frequency power source allows the ion accelerator to be adapted to accelerate a wide range of ion species to desired energy levels for implantation onto a workpiece, while reducing the cost and size of an ion implantation accelerator.</p> |
