When the beam is injected into the silicon wafer through the low-energy large-beam ion implanter, the beam sequentially passes through two important hardware of the coil group and the magnetic pole group, and the adjustment of the two hardware is a key for reducing the uniformity index. Because the number of the magnetic poles and the coils in the coil groups and the magnetic pole groups to be adjusted is large, manual adjustment is time-consuming and has a plurality of limitations by experience, and therefore the adjustment method for automatically adjusting the uniformity index of the low-energy large-beam ion implanter is important.
The coil group is in front, the magnetic pole group is in back, and when the beam current generated by the front-end ion source is stable and relatively small in uniformity, the uniformity can be reduced to the index required by a customer only by adjusting the magnetic pole group. The adjustment of the magnetic pole group mainly depends on adjusting the distance between each pair of magnetic poles, but the adjustment range of the magnetic pole distance in the equipment is limited, and the final uniformity index cannot be ensured, so that the coil group in front of the magnetic pole group is adjusted first to lower the uniformity index, the uniformity index is corrected only by adjusting the stimulation group and selecting 3 groups of magnetic poles as model solving parameters in the adjustment process, although the uniformity index can be reduced to a certain extent, the uniformity index is reduced to 0.5% or even lower by ensuring the uniformity index to be uniform for the mass production of semiconductor chips, and the method has certain limitation.
The above-mentioned methods for adjusting the uniformity of low-energy large beam have some limitations:

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in fig. 1, when the low-energy large-beam ion implanter is used for implantation, the beam sequentially passes through the analysis diaphragm (1), the coil assembly (2) and the parallel lens (3) and finally passes through the magnetic pole assembly (4) to be beaten to the surface of the silicon wafer, and in the process, the controllable device capable of reducing the uniformity index is provided with the coil assembly (2) and the magnetic pole assembly (4).
A method for uniformity adjustment of a low energy large beam ion implanter as shown in fig. 2 comprises: a method (1) for adjusting a coil group and a method (2) for adjusting a magnetic pole group. The invention improves the uniformity index by adjusting the two devices. The method is realized by the following technical scheme:
1) All coils are not energized and all poles are brought to the initial position (3).
2) The silicon wafer size to be ion implanted is determined to be, for example, about 25.4cm at 10inch, and the range to be adjusted, i.e., the cross-sectional width of the beam, is greater than 10inch. Assuming that the wafer center is the origin of coordinates, the beam width required to be adjusted is (-x, x), then 2x > 10inch. The beam current range to be regulated is that m sampling points are set in the Faraday regulation range (-x, x) to obtain the relation between each sampling point and the corresponding position current intensity Jp, and the initial current intensity mean value J is obtained 0 (4) This flow intensity average value J 0 The target value of all the acquisition points of the coil assembly is regulated, and the beam current average value needs to be acquired again as a new target value after the cycle is started.
3) Average value J of current intensity and initial current intensity of each sampling point when current I is applied to each coil and current is not applied to other coils 0 The difference is made to obtain the current change and the current intensity change delta J of the sampling position in the adjusting range (-x, x) of each group of coils p The n sets of coils have n sets of varying relationships (5).
4) By combining with the hardware regulation limit of a machine, an overdetermined equation set (the number n of the coils is limited, in principle, the more m values are, the more accurate the result is, so m is far greater than n), a set of current regulation solutions for regulating each coil is obtained, and after the circulation is started, the parameters of the equation set can be solved for the first time to speed up the regulation rate (6).
5) The coil adjustment values are input to a machine (7).
6) Judging whether the expected uniformity is reached, if the expected uniformity is not reached, repeating the steps 2) to 6), and if the expected uniformity is reached, continuing the step (8).
7) The coil adjustment result is maintained and all poles are brought to the initial position (9).
8) The same magnetic pole group adjusting range is (-x, x), the same number and positions of sampling points are adopted, thus being beneficial to reducing the hardware construction cost and saving the adjusting time, setting m sampling points in the required moving Faraday adjusting range (-x, x) to obtain the relation between each sampling point and the corresponding position flow intensity Jr, and obtaining the initial flow intensity mean valueJ 1 (10) This flow intensity average value J 1 And the target value of the adjustment of all the magnetic pole group acquisition points is obtained. After entering the cycle, the beam current average value needs to be acquired again to be used as a new round of target value.
9) The magnetic pole components are an upper magnetic pole and a lower magnetic pole, and when the position of the upper magnetic pole is adjusted, the position of the lower magnetic pole is kept unchanged, and vice versa. The data acquisition follows the following rules: the first pole is adjusted by a distance d and the rest positions are kept unchanged to collect a set of data. The second pole is tested while maintaining the first pole adjustment d, the second pole is moved d, and the rest positions are maintained unchanged to test a set of data. The first two poles are held adjusted d when the third pole is tested, a set of data is tested when the third pole is moved d. The 1-group of flow intensity values J are obtained after the k-1 magnetic pole moves by the distance d rk-1 . The kth magnetic pole is kept unchanged, and 1 group of flow intensity values J are measured after the kth magnetic pole moves by a distance d rk ,ΔJ r =J rk -J rk-1 Thus, the current change and the current intensity change delta J of the sampling position in the k-th magnetic pole adjusting range (-x, x) are obtained r The k poles have k sets of changing relationships (11).
10 Combining with the hardware regulation limit of the machine, solving by a computer to obtain a group of magnetic pole regulation magnetic spacing regulation solutions, and firstly solving equation set parameters to accelerate the regulation rate (12) after the hardware environment is the same and enters the circulation.
11 Inputting each magnetic pole adjusting value into the machine (13).
12 Determining whether the desired uniformity is achieved, repeating 8) to 12) if the desired uniformity is not achieved, and ending (14) if the desired uniformity is achieved.
