What it is

The Varian 160 XP Ion is an ion implanter.[1]

The Varian 160 XP Ion is configured as a 150 mm high-current implanter.[1][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An ion implanter generates an ion beam, selects the desired ion species, and directs the beam onto the wafer surface under controlled conditions.

An ion implantation tool controls dose and beam energy so the implanted ions reach a target depth and concentration profile in the substrate.

Where it fits in the process flow

The Varian 160 XP Ion sits in the ion implantation portion of the semiconductor process flow.[1][3]

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implantation is used for selective doping of semiconductor wafers.
