Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to two-dimensional detection of a wideband beam current of an ion implanter, and two-dimensional beam current data can be obtained through two-dimensional detection of the beam current. Background Art

[0002] The design and production process of ultra-large integrated circuits almost follows "Moore's Law" to continuously increase the integration of semiconductor devices, and the "line width" of ultra-large chips is also being miniaturized in multiples. Since 2000, the line width of integrated circuits has also entered the "nanoscale" from the "micrometer level". Since 2010, my country's advanced semiconductor production process has also extended from 45nm to 28nm and smaller line widths. The production process of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits has undergone many fundamental changes from "micrometer level" to "nanoscale". Ion implanters are key equipment in 45-22nm process equipment. High-quality beams are the goal of developing ion implanters, which puts higher requirements on the measurement system. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to accurately detect the quality of a broadband beam, the present invention designs and develops a two-dimensional beam detection system.

[0004] The two-dimensional mobile Faraday consists of a Faraday array consisting of 25 Faraday cups, a moving part, and a beam collection part. The specific structure is as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the Faraday array moves in the horizontal and vertical directions under the drive of the motor screw, and the movement is perpendicular to the beam. By matching the beam collected by each Faraday cup with its real-time position, the shape of the beam profile and the flux density distribution at the measured position can be obtained.

[0005] The two-dimensional mobile Faraday collects the beam current value at the specified position during the movement. The position is represented by X, the beam current value is represented by Y, and the beam current information is (X, Y). Figure 2 2 to 26 in the figure are 25 signal input channels. The information of the input channels is the current value of the beam. Figure 1 31, 32, 33, 34 on the 27-channel selection board are output channel selection switches. Figure 1 28 is a signal conversion board, which is used to convert the current value of the beam into a voltage value with high precision. The collected beam information of channel 31 is (X1, Y1), the collected beam information of channel 32 is (X2, Y2), the collected beam information of channel 33 is (X3, Y3), and the collected beam information of channel 34 is (X4, Y4). By moving the two-dimensional moving Faraday 8 times and switching the channel selection switch, all beam information can be collected once.
