ION BEAM APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MODIFYING SUBSTRATES

摘要

An ion beam apparatus is used to detect and repair under constant control the defects of a substrate. To that effect, the ion beam apparatus includes a mask (4) arranged in the path of the rays after the ion source (1) and presenting a perforation (5), preferably a round opening. A controllable lens (6) is provided between the ion source (1) and the mask (4) to modify the angle epsilon with which the ion beam leaves the ion source (Fig. 1)
