Ion implantation is a materials engineering process where ionized atoms or molecules are accelerated to high energy and injected into a solid substrate. This process precisely modifies the substrate's physical, chemical, or electrical properties by introducing these ions into its crystal lattice. A primary application is the introduction of impurity elements (dopants) into semiconductor materials. This doping process is fundamental to modern semiconductor manufacturing, allowing for the precise control of electrical conductivity.
A typical ion implanter consists of several key components: an ion source that generates the desired ions, a mass analyzer to select the specific ion species, an accelerator tube that accelerates the ions to the required energy, a scanning system to distribute the ion beam uniformly across the substrate, and a dose control system to precisely monitor and regulate the ion dose. The end station, where implantation occurs, is maintained under high vacuum to ensure process integrity and prevent beam scattering or contamination.
Matsusada Precision provides a complete range of high voltage power supplies that are essential for the various subsystems of an ion implanter. These power supplies support key functions, including:
- Ion Source Filaments
- Extraction Grids
- Analyzer Magnets (Constant Current)
- Ion Acceleration (up to 200kV)
- Ion Beam Scanning (Fast Bipolar)
- Secondary Electron Suppression
