Even though lithography is critical for 450mm development, process tools such as ion implantation and associated metrology are also challenged by scaling-up to keep acceptable CoO and excellent capabilities. There is a double challenge: scale up to 450mm and cope with shallower or 3D doping specifications. For beam line implanters, the 450mm is challenging: direct beam imposes a process time linear with the implanted area and a throughput which decreases while reducing energy. Therefore the 450mm is a great challenge. Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) technology offers a good alternative to beam line implanter with a high throughput at low energy, an implant time independent from the surface area and the possibility to implant on 3D structures. IBS has built a 450 mm PIII prototype based on its PULSION® Technology [1] and is evaluating non uniformity of BF3 implantation on 450 mm n-type wafers. To monitor such a light element we used the Shallow Probe tool, based on a simple, original and unique approach: Low Energy Electron induced X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (LEXES). The wafer is probed by a low energy electron beam and the soft X-rays emission is collected in WDS (Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy) spectrometers. The technology uses a dedicated low energy and high current electron column that has been specifically designed by CAMECA to optimize surface analysis instead of bulk analysis [2]. CAMECA is developing a new 450mm tool and collaborates with IBS to provide solutions to semiconductor manufacturers for ion implantation. LEXES results of B dose implant mapping have demonstrated a B dose non-uniformity of less than 4% over a 450mm wafer. Additionally the LEXES tool has been used to assess uniformity of the in-depth localization of the boron implant.","PeriodicalId":6548,"journal":{"name":"2014 20th International Conference on Ion Implantation Technology (IIT)","volume":"410 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75188860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since GCIB deposit its kinetic energy at local area, it leads to formation of high energy density state on surface. From XPS analysis, it was shown that sp3 contents in carbon films increased with increasing acceleration voltage (Va) and it showed highest value at Va of 10 kV. NEXAFS measurements also showed decrease of sp2 content at Va of 10 kV.

SEN has developed the S-UHE, a single-wafer ultra-high energy ion implanter, to obtain such ultra-high energy beams. The S-UHE has adopted an electrostatic and symmetric, parallelizing lens system, the concept of which is already used in the MC3-II, a medium-current ion implanter, and the SHX, a single-wafer high-current implanter. This system provides very good uniformity, even when a large amount of outgassing from photoresist materials is generated. Since the ion beam energy is so high at the lens system, a compound electrostatic parallelizing lens system is introduced. Beam angles have been controlled within 0.05° for any recipe in experiments with the electrostatic parallelizing lens system. Another beam line element specifically adopted in the S-UHE is an electric quadrupole lens installed between the two dipole magnets, in order to suppress beam current loss. This electric lens can easily form achromatic ion beam transportation without any significant deformation of the magnetic field.","PeriodicalId":6548,"journal":{"name":"2014 20th International Conference on Ion Implantation Technology (IIT)","volume":"99 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77772644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
