What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIon implanters accelerate ions of a dopant element and direct them into a semiconductor wafer to alter the electrical properties of the substrate.
The Varian E 500 EHP Ion uses an ion source to generate the desired ion species, a mass analyzer to select the correct ion type, and an acceleration column to bring the ions to the required kinetic energy.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIon implantation is a doping step in semiconductor fabrication typically performed after photolithography defines the regions to be doped and before a subsequent annealing step.
The Varian E 500 EHP Ion is used in the front-end-of-line (FEOL) portion of the manufacturing flow to introduce dopants into the silicon crystal lattice.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Varian E 500 EHP Ion is employed for doping silicon wafers to create p-type and n-type regions for transistors and other semiconductor devices.
The system is used in the fabrication of integrated circuits including logic chips, memory devices, and power semiconductors.
