Embodiment
[0033] for background content of the present invention is provided, exemplary application has been shown among Fig. 1, but should have recognized that it only is an example and nonrestrictive.
[0034] Fig. 1 shows ion implantor 10, and it is used for injecting ion at semiconductor wafer 12.Ion implantor 10 is positioned at the vacuum chamber 15 by vacuum pump 24 pumping.In a word, ion is by ion source 14 generations that will be sucked and by quality analysis level 30.The ion of required quality is selected by passing through mass resolution slit 32, and continues bump semiconductor wafer 12.Ion implantor 10 is to work under the management of controller, and controller is the computer of the suitable software of operation usually.
[0035] ion source 14 produces the ion beam that comprises required kind.The ion that produces in the ion source 14 aspirates by outlet opening 28 with suction electrode assembly 26.Thereby power supply 21 applies electrical potential difference the ion that is aspirated is accelerated to the required beam energy that is suitable for by ion implantor 10 between ion source 14 and suction electrode assembly (not shown), ion source 14 and quality analysis level 30 are electrically insulated from each other by the insulator (not shown).For shallow injection, the unacceptable Shu Fangda that causes of space charge effect thereby beam energy is optimized to that enough height are avoided, and ion beam was decelerated the lens subassembly (not shown) subsequently and slows down before injecting.
[0036] Chou Xi ion mixture passes through ion analysis level 30, so they pass crooked route under the effect in magnetic field.The radius of curvature of any ion mobile route is by its quality, state of charge and energy decision.Controlling magnetic field is so that for a beam combination energy, and only those ions with required quality and state of charge leave along the path consistent with mass resolution slit 32.Outgoing ion beam 34 is transported to target then, promptly remains on treating on the appropriate location by wafer support 36 and injects substrate wafer 12.When wafer 12 and wafer support 36 shifted out the path of ion beam 34, ion beam 34 continued to incide on the retaining bundle device 100.Retaining bundle device 100 absorb the heat that produces by ion beam 34 incidents and reduce since the pollutant that ion beam 34 incidents cause to the injection of wafer 12.
[0037] or once only single semiconductor wafer 12 (or other targets) is injected into, or many wafers 12 can be arranged on the conveyer etc., thereby this conveyer rotation is submitted to the incident ion bundle with wafer 12 successively.
[0038] injects usually by 34 realizations of relative wafer 12 ion beam, so that required dosage is strafed the back realization many times.Scanning can be by using wafer support 36 to move wafer 12, using ion optics (not shown) moving iron bundle 34 or the combination of the two to realize.
[0039] geometric configuration in the zone of wafer 12 is to be represented by the axle among Fig. 1.The z axle is corresponding to the direct of travel of ion beam 34.The x axle is represented horizontal direction, and the y axle is represented vertical direction.
[0040] cross section of retaining bundle device 100 according to an embodiment of the invention has been shown among Fig. 2.Retaining bundle device 100 comprises Faraday cup, and it has ingate 102, the enough wide reception in hole 102 ion beam 34 thereby this ingate 102 is limited by annular ring 104.In this embodiment, with respect to fixing ion beam 34 scanning wafers 12.Only this means that implementing ion beam in a small amount moves (proofread and correct effectively and optimize harness shape and position), and therefore hole 102 can be correspondingly little.When ion beam 34 is scanned, need bigger hole 102 in injection process.In mixed sweep implanter 10, the size on the dimension in hole 102 goes up big many than another dimension.
[0041] retaining bundle device 100 limits internal capacities 106, and it 102 extends and by sidewall 108 and rear wall 110 restrictions from the ingate.Backboard 112 is fixed on the rear wall 110 with standard mode, to face ingate 102.Therefore, indicate its ion beam that moves 34 to enter by arrow A and clash into backboard 112 by ingate 102.Backboard 112 and other SI semi-insulations that keep off bundle device 100, and its size covers the four corner of ion beam 34.
[0042] sidewall 108 is optimised, or has the associated cushion of optimization, thereby absorbs secondary electron and because ion bombardment and other charged particles of discharging from backboard 112.Thereby the circle 104 that limits ingate 102 can be handled the optimization absorption of guaranteeing the charged particle that sprays similarly.Can stride into oral pore 102 magnetic field that is produced by (not shown) such as permanent magnets is provided, thereby suppress charged particle, otherwise may pollute wafer 12 because retaining is restrainted the loss that device 100 causes.Magnetic field also suppresses external electrical and enters retaining bundle device 100, and guides any high energy electron to sidewall 108 rather than allow them to reach backboard 112 and false readings is provided.Thereby backboard 112 provides the accurate measurement to ion beam 34 intermediate ions.
[0043] backboard 112 produces and the proportional signal of incident ion beam electronic current, and this is well known in the art.Signal can directly obtain through being electrically connected 114 from backboard 112.Alternatively, signal can be handled by the primary signal in the retaining bundle device 100, for example by circuit 116 shown in Fig. 2.Be sent to the ion implantor controller from connecting 114 signals that obtain.
[0044] Fig. 3 illustrates the front view of first embodiment of backboard 112.Backboard 112 has circular cross section and comprises by two ring segments 121 and the 122 annular center sections 110 of surrounding, and section 120 to 122 by little gap 130 separately.Three sections 120 to 122 are provided with one heart, and have area identical in this embodiment.Each section 120 to 122 is electric insulation with two other section.For each section 120 to 122 provides connection 118 as shown in the figure, so that each section 120 to 122 provides the signal of having indicated the ion beam current of incident on it.
[0045] these signals can be used to obtain the information about ion beam 34.For example, signal can be expressed as block diagram, thereby the indication ion line reduces as the function of the radial distance at ion beam 34 centers how.When wafer 12 by when the overlapped scans line sweep injects, the radial distribution of understanding ion beam 34 is important.This comprises the width and the ion beam current radial variations of ion beam 34.For example, ion beam current can characterize by Gaussian function.And any asymmetric knowledge all is useful in the ion beam 34, because can proofread and correct and compensate them subsequently.Certainly, can only, the signal that comes from three sections 120 to 122 obtain total ion beam current by being summed up.
[0046] Fig. 3 illustrates the circular backboard 112 with circle segments 120 to 122, and it is suitable for characterizing ion beam 34 with circular distribution most.Yet it is circular that ion beam 34 can need not to be, and the shape of backboard 112 and section 120 to 122 thereof can correspondingly change.For example, Fig. 4 illustrates the backboard 112 identical with Fig. 2 dorsulum 112, but it has the elliptical shape that is suitable for elliptical ion beam.Thereby backboard 112 is divided into oval central segment 120, and it is surrounded by elliptical perimeter section 121 and 122.
[0047] quantity of section 120 to 122 can change according to desired amount of information.Fig. 5 illustrates circular backboard 112, and it is divided into circular central section 121 to 124.Certainly, can select any amount of section 121 to 124.Usually, section 121 to 124 selection will be compromised between the benefit of extraneous information and Geng Duo signal processing tasks.
[0048] except the radial information about ion beam distribution is provided, backstop bundle device 100 can be used for providing poly-middle information.Carrying out in the relative scanning direction is the most useful, and the poly-middle information along x and y axle promptly is provided in this embodiment.Fig. 6 shows the embodiment of the circular backboard 112 that is divided into two sections 120 and 121: circular interior section 120 and annular, outer section 121.Inner section 120 is further by vertical electric insulation gap 130 120a and 120b in two.Among two halves 121a and the 121b each partly all provides the signal of himself, and this signal is indicated the ion beam current on it.
[0049] thereby, the backboard 112 among Fig. 6 provides three signals.Thereby can compare two and determine that from the signals of two halves 120a, the 120b of inner section 120 ion beams 34 are along in x axle poly-.Measurement can be carried out when ion beam 34 is adjusted, and promptly uses measurement in the feedback loop to control the manipulation of ion beam 34.For during ion beam 34 is poly-on retaining bundle device 100, should be (supposition is identical from the response of per half 120a, 120b: backboard 112 can be calibrated and therefore the sensitivity difference can be compensated) of balance from the signal of two halves 120a, 120b.Alternatively, optimal ion bundle position is can be corresponding with the center of retaining bundle device 100, and therefore can to ion beam 34 adjust up between the two halves 120a of section and 120b, realize required compensation.
[0050] can be added from the signal of the two halves 120a of inner section 120 and 120b and and with compare from the signal of outer portion part 121 (or a plurality of outer portion part, more than one outer portion part is arranged here), thereby allow to form radial distribution, as mentioned above.
[0051] Fig. 7 illustrates the variation of embodiment among Fig. 6, and wherein inner section 120 and outer portion part 121 all are divided into two halves.Except being shaped with radial distribution in above-mentioned gathering, can carry out further analysis by right half the radial distribution of the left half-sum of reference ion bundle 34.Thereby, can the ion optics of using ion implantor 10 ion beam 34 is calibrated reshape during, detect and also monitor any asymmetry in the ion beam 34.
