What it is

The Axcelis NV GSD III LE is a high current ion implanter manufactured by Axcelis. The NV GSD III LE processes wafers of 8 inch size.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implanters generate a beam of ions in an ion source fed with a dopant-containing gas. A magnetic analyzer filters the beam so that only the desired ion species reaches the target. The filtered beam is accelerated to the implant energy and swept across the wafer while the wafer stage moves to distribute the dose evenly. Beam current and implant energy set the dose and the depth profile of the implanted dopant.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implantation is a doping step that normally follows the patterning of a photoresist or hard mask by lithography, so that only the intended areas of the wafer receive the dopant. A thermal anneal after implantation activates the dopant and repairs crystal damage created by the implant. In a wafer fab, the high current implantation step sits between the patterning steps and the subsequent anneal and film-deposition processes.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

High current ion implanters are applied to source and drain doping in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors, as well as to gate, emitter, and contact-region doping. Typical dopant species include boron, phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony. High current implanters also serve large-area doping steps where dose uniformity and repeatability are required.
