Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of insulating components, in particular to a multi-layer protection enhanced ion implanter insulating component. Background Art

[0002] The ion implanter is a very important step in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The gas source is ionized into ions by the ion implanter, and the ions are accelerated by the electric field. Finally, the ions are implanted into the silicon wafer to complete the material modification. The ion source and other components must be continuously insulated and isolated. Usually, an insulating sleeve is used to isolate the inside and outside to protect the internal ions from the influence of the external electric field. However, when the ions leave the ion source, they will collide with the cavity of the ion source, and tiny substances will often be attached to the insulating sleeve of the ion source. These substances often form discharge points under high voltage, causing the insulation to deteriorate, thereby affecting the ion implantation effect.

[0003] In the related technology, the insulating part includes an insulating sleeve and a threaded connecting block. The insulating sleeve includes a low-pressure area and a high-pressure area. A barrier area is provided between the low-pressure area and the high-pressure area. The barrier area can be used to decelerate ions. A shielding tube is provided in the barrier area facing the high-pressure area to avoid ions colliding with the insulating ring to generate electrons. The shielding tube will directly form an electric current to avoid affecting the transmission of ions. The threaded connecting block is plugged into the threaded groove of the ion source insulating sleeve, and the ion beam outlet is provided facing the connecting hole of the shielding tube.

[0004] However, because the related components will be in a high-voltage working environment for a long time when the ion source is working, they need to be disassembled, cleaned and maintained frequently to ensure the normal operation of the components. However, after the insulating sleeve is removed, the shielding tube will cover the barrier area inside the insulating sleeve, which has better insulation protection performance, but will cause great trouble for cleaning and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a multi-layer protection enhanced ion implanter insulating component, which is intended to efficiently isolate the ion beam optical path transmission system and reduce maintenance costs.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model proposes a multi-layer protection enhanced ion implanter insulation component, comprising an insulating sleeve and an insulating protective sleeve:

[0007] An ion entrance port is formed at one end of the insulating sleeve, an insulating flange is abutted against an end of the insulating sleeve away from the ion entrance port, an insulating ring is convexly provided on the end face of the insulating flange facing away from the insulating sleeve, a shielding cylinder is provided on the insulating sleeve facing the insulating flange, the shielding cylinder abuts against the insulating flange, and a connecting hole is formed at the end of the shielding cylinder away from the ion entrance port; and

[0008] The insulating protective sleeve is in contact with the insulating ring and is clamped on the shielding cylinder. The insulating protective sleeve is provided with an ion outlet relative to the communicating hole.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present application, the insulating sleeve is provided with a limiting opening facing the insulating flange, and the limiting opening surrounds the inner edge of the insulating flange.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present application, the shielding cylinder is provided with a limiting portion protruding circumferentially facing the limiting opening, and the limiting portion is connected to the insulating flange and clamped in the limiting opening.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present application, the shielding tube is inserted into the insulating protective sleeve, and the shielding tube includes a clamping portion and a guide portion:

[0012] One end of the clamping portion is connected to the limiting portion, and one end of the clamping portion away from the limiting portion is clamped to the insulating protective sleeve; and

[0013] The guide portion is provided with an end portion of the clamping portion facing the ion outlet, and the communicating hole is opened in the guide portion.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, the inner cavity of the insulating sleeve is coated with an insulating layer, and a low-pressure area is provided at one end of the insulating sleeve close to the ion inlet.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present application, the insulating protective sleeve is provided with a high-pressure area opposite to the low-pressure area, and the high-pressure area is connected to the ion outlet.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, both the inner wall and the outer wall of the insulating ring are provided with wavy folds.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention is to divide the insulating part into an insulating sleeve and an insulating protective sleeve. One end of the insulating sleeve is provided with an ion inlet, and the other end is connected to an insulating flange. The end face of the insulating flange facing away from the insulating sleeve is convexly provided with an insulating ring. The inner wall and the outer wall of the insulating ring are provided with wavy folds. The relatively arranged wavy folds can increase the insulation distance and improve the insulation effect. The insulating protective sleeve abuts against the inside of the insulating ring. The insulating protective sleeve can cover the wavy folds to prevent ions from colliding with the insulating ring to generate secondary electrons. After these secondary electrons gradually accumulate and increase over time, the insulating ring will fail to function and cause a short circuit in the power supply. Covering the insulating ring with the insulating protective sleeve can effectively avoid problems with the insulating ring. The insulating protective sleeve includes an outer edge, which abuts against the insulating ring to play a role of limiting. It also allows the insulating protective sleeve to be more conveniently removed from the insulating ring. To facilitate subsequent cleaning and maintenance, a shielding tube is abutted on the insulating flange, one end of the shielding tube is clamped on the insulating sleeve, the shielding tube is passed through the insulating protective sleeve, and a connecting hole is opened, which can have better ion beam introduction and is used to guide the movement trajectory of the ion beam, and cooperate with the shielding tube to achieve a multi-level protection effect. The insulating flange and the insulating sleeve can be directly provided with a connection structure that is easy to disassemble. When the insulating flange is removed, the shielding tube can be removed at the same time, which is convenient for the subsequent maintenance of the insulating parts and can effectively improve the use effect. A locking structure can be formed between the shielding tube and the insulating ring, and the insulating protective sleeve can be clamped between the insulating ring and the shielding tube, which can be convenient to use, and the insulating protective sleeve is provided with an ion outlet relative to the connecting hole. The above design can achieve an efficient and multi-level isolation effect on the ion beam optical path transmission system, and the detachable structure can effectively reduce maintenance costs and improve user experience.

The inner wall and the outer wall of the insulating ring 4 are both provided with a wavy folded portion 41. The wavy folded portions 41 are arranged relatively to each other, and the insulation distance can be increased and the insulation effect can be improved. The insulating protective sleeve 5 abuts against the inside of the insulating ring 4. The insulating protective sleeve 5 can cover the wavy folded portion 41 to prevent ions from colliding with the insulating ring 4 to generate secondary electrons. After these secondary electrons gradually accumulate and increase over time, the insulating ring 4 will fail to function, causing a short circuit and sparking of the power supply. Covering the insulating ring 4 with the insulating protective sleeve 5 can effectively avoid problems with the insulating ring 4, and the insulating protective sleeve 5 includes an outer edge, which abuts against the insulating ring 4 to play a limiting role, and also allows the insulating protective sleeve 5 to be more conveniently removed from the insulating ring 4.

[0027] Furthermore, the insulating flange 3 is provided with a through hole for allowing the ion beam to pass freely, and the end of the insulating sleeve 1 away from the ion entrance port 11 is provided with a limit opening 12 facing the through hole. In this embodiment, the diameter of the limit opening 12 is larger than the through hole, and the limit opening 12 is wrapped around the outer edge of the through hole to cooperate with the locking shielding tube 2 and ensure that the insulating parts can be disassembled more conveniently when maintenance is required.

In this embodiment, the clamping portion 22 and the insulating flange 3 are tightly connected by extrusion. Similarly, a threaded structure is provided on the outer wall of the clamping portion 22 near the limiting portion 21, which can also more conveniently lock the two, save maintenance time, and improve insulation. The service life of the edge part, the guide part 23 is connected to the end face of the clamping part 22 away from the limiting part 21, the guide part 23 is hemispherical in design, which can effectively guide the movement direction of the ion beam, and a connecting hole 24 is provided at the bottom end of the guide part 23 for guiding the ion beam and improving the isolation of the ion beam optical path transmission system.

In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the insulating sleeve 1 is provided with a low-pressure area 13 at the end near the ion entrance 11. The low-pressure area 13 is used to control the initial speed and direction of the ion beam. In this area, the ion beam is usually initially accelerated by a regulator and focused into a beam by a focusing electric field. This helps to ensure that the ion beam has a consistent speed and direction when it departs from the source, thereby reducing errors and improving injection accuracy. A high-pressure area 52 is provided at the ion outlet 51 to help maintain the stability of the ion beam and prevent it from diverging or losing focus. When the ion beam moves from the low-pressure area 13 to the high-pressure area 52, the positive ions are decelerated under the action of the negative electric field. The shielding tube 2, the insulating protective cover 5 and the insulating ring 4 cooperate with each other to achieve a multi-layer protection effect, which can effectively isolate the ion beam optical transmission system and improve the accuracy and stability of the injection.
