Radial Scan Arm And Collimator For Serial Processing Of Semiconductor Wafers With Ribbon Beams

View page
US Patent:
7057192, Jun 6, 2006
Filed:
Feb 2, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/049264
Inventors:
Robert E. Kaim - Brookline MA, US
Nicholas R. White - Manchester MA, US
International Classification:
H01J 37/20
US Classification:
25049221, 25044211
Abstract:
Semiconductor wafers are sequentially mounted on a holder at one end of an arm which is pivoted about its other end. Each wafer is thereby passed on an arcuate path through a parallel-scanned or continuous ribbon-shaped beam for processing. The pivot axis is parallel to the centroid of the beam trajectories. By pre-orienting the wafers before loading, and by providing a second pivot between the arm and the holder, the angle between the beam and the wafer surface may be precisely adjusted to any arbitrary angle of interest. The geometry is such that this angle is constant over the processed area. Uniform processing requires a scanned ribbon beam to have a non-uniform scan velocity and a continuous ribbon beam to have a non-uniform intensity profile. The required non-uniformity is generated by a suitably shaped collimating magnet. When a suitable ribbon beam is unavailable, a beam of approximately circular shape may be used by translating the pivot axis, thereby moving the wafer in a two-dimensional pattern through the beam.

Methods For Cleaning Ion Implanter Components

US Patent:
7819981, Oct 26, 2010
Filed:
Oct 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/973673
Inventors:
Frank DiMeo, Jr. - Danbury CT, US
James Dietz - Scarsdale NY, US
W. Karl Olander - Indian Shores FL, US
Robert Kaim - Brookline MA, US
Steven E. Bishop - Rio Rancho NM, US
Jeffrey W. Neuner - Bethel CT, US
Jose I. Arno - Brookfield CT, US
Assignee:
Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. - Danbury CT
International Classification:
B08B 6/00
US Classification:
134 12, 134 11
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for cleaning residue from components of an ion source region of an ion implanter used in the fabrication of microelectronic devices. To effectively remove residue, the components are contacted with a gas-phase reactive halide composition for sufficient time and under sufficient conditions to at least partially remove the residue. The gas-phase reactive halide composition is chosen to react selectively with the residue, while not reacting with the components of the ion source region or the vacuum chamber.
