The first scanning path 246 is traveled to achieve the same. By separation, it is generally desirable to have a fixed (four) fan 254 for the movement of the closed beam, which is usually the actual size of the workpiece 216 (for example, the scan range is larger than the workpiece two) In this example, the predetermined scan range (5) is usually *

However, due to the reciprocal alternating reversal of the workpiece 216 along the first scan path, acceleration and deceleration of the #216 are inevitable, such as clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the shaft 228 on the first axis 224 (eg, : Reverse). Thus, to accommodate acceleration and deceleration of scan f 232, end effector = 78, and workpiece 216, a maximum scan between the opposite ends of workpiece 216 along first scan path 246 between maximum positions 26 and 262 Distance 258 can be further defined. Acceleration and fading may occur in the overshoot region 264 when the ion beam 2〇5 is not in contact with the workpiece 216, or when at least a portion of the ion beam is not in contact with the workpiece 216. It is important to point out that in the conventional two-dimensional scanning system, the allowable amount of acceleration and deceleration during the reversal of the workpiece direction is substantially limited, so that the inertial force transmitted to the rest of the system is associated with the reaction force.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the beams are complementary, and the holes, holes 33G can be applied to many implant products and systems 6 for example, regarding ion beam beam or scanning ion beam implanter, The beam complementary aperture 330 will be applied to the collimator or scanning system 138 (upstream of the figure. It should also be understood that the beam complementary aperture 33 can encompass a variety of shapes and sizes and are contemplated herein. Another embodiment The ion beam shape and size can be accurately determined using a variable aperture (not shown) including a sensor and a control system variable and/or motor system and a field dynamic control, by measuring the shot The edges of the beam are detected by the complementary currents of the bundle and similar ones. In this embodiment, a variable ion beam complementary hole (not shown) can be mounted to adjust the hole to approximate the shape of the ion beam. Dimensions. The beam designed at the exit of the mass analyzer 130 defines a hole 123 to match its acceptance to the emittance of a beam originating from a seam having a narrow width and a height of two An ion source that produces an aberration within the beam by an optical element such as a group of electromagnets. For example, the aberration is caused by the gradient of the ion beam traveling through a magnetic field such that the aberration The curvature radius of the individual ion trajectories of the beam changes. As another example, a gradient in the height direction of the slit beam (such as caused by source magnetization or mass analysis bipolar with a large magnetic pole gap) will be 19 201101364 A beam is caused to be displaced as a function of the non-dispersing direction in the direction of the dispersion direction such that the resulting beam position is not curved as being curved toward the center of rotation of the ion beam of the polar field. Ideally, the beam complementary hole 33G (eg, the scent hole opening will match the shape of the ion beam, and the beam occurring in the hole will collide. Conversely, the system before the 尚未 has not considered these beam shapes and Designing a mass-analytical beam aperture with a rectangular shape. These holes are purely due to the mismatch of the two shapes and will over- or unevenly load the beam. Therefore, the beam complementary m3G can be designed to The degree of emissivity is provided and an optimum amount of beam is provided. It is to be understood that beam complementary holes that are sized and shaped to match any ion beam shape and size as known to those skilled in the art = 330 Furthermore, the beam complementary aperture 33() or other beam defining aperture may be an embodiment of a variable type motor that allows for field adjustment of the hole size to closely match the actual beam size, as discussed above. This beam size (4) method is useful (iv) by reducing the necessary workpiece for scanning to improve the t-production, and also limiting the beam size to prevent processing chamber areas = unwanted beam impact. In addition to beam limiting effects. The resolution and the boundary 截m cut into charged particles trapped in the ion beam. The edge t can thus block the trapped particles and reduce the amount of particles transported to the target chamber. Finally, Excessive beam impingement that utilizes conventional resolution and beam-defining holes can result in sputtered material and secondary electrons. Therefore, the design and beam define the holes to balance the traders that provide sufficient mass resolution, beam current, and particle cut while making the sputtered material the least. In this embodiment, for example, the radius and length of the banana shape have been constructed, 20 201101364, the operation of causing the minimum beam loss to occur at greater than, for example, 20 kiloelectron volts.
