These implants can provide ion beams with energy up to 5 MeV (million electron volts). The owner of the present invention, Eaton Corporation, U.S. Patent No. 4,667,111, illustrates this high energy ion implanter. Ion implanters operate at very high voltage levels. Typically, the ions in the beam are accelerated and decelerated by electrodes and other components in the implanter to maintain different voltage levels. For example, positive ions are extracted from the ion source, the magnet is resolved by mass, and accelerated by an electrode with increasing negative potential. In high-energy ion implanters, the ion beam is accelerated as it passes through a radio frequency (RF) linear accelerator (linac). The ion beam travels through an RF linear accelerator through a series of acceleration stages (resonator modules), where the acceleration field is generated by synchronizing the frequency of the RF voltage with the speed of the ion beam. 4 The paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ------------ installation -------- order -------- -(Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) 527618 A7 ______B7 _ V. Description of the Invention (2) Arsenic (As) and phosphorus (P) are two elements that are often implanted in semiconductors as doping media . Arsenic and phosphorus are typically implanted into the ion source and ionized into triarsenide (AsH3) and phosphine (PH3) gases, each of which includes hydrogen (H) as a carrier gas. The ionization of these gases in the ionization chamber often produces a small amount of deuterium, a kind of hydrogen isotope. The ion beam line extracted from the ion source often contains deuteron, which is the nucleus of heavy hydrogen atom, each containing 1 proton and 1 neutron. Therefore, a deuteron is a subatomic particle with a unit positive charge. The deuteron extracted from the ion source is transmitted along the ion beam line to the mass-analysis magnet. Implantable ions (such as As +, As ++, P +, and P ++) with the correct charge-to-mass ratio pass through the mass-resolving magnet, while particles with incorrect charge-to-mass ratio (e.g., neon nuclei) hit the inner sidewall of the mass-resolving magnet.

Among the known carbon isotopes C-11 to C-15, both C-12 and CM3 are stable and the most abundant. The number 12 in the C-12 (or 12C) symbol represents the sum of protons (6) and neutrons (6). Nearly 99% of the carbon isotopes found on Earth are carbon CM2. Carbon C-13 (or 13C) has 7 neutrons and 6 protons in its nucleus. About 1.1% of all carbon atoms are made up of this isotope. The graphite used to make the mass analysis magnet strike plate usually contains carbon CM2 and a small amount of carbon CM3 isotopes.

Neutron radiation caused by the collision of deuterons with carbon C-13 isotopes in the strike plate is particularly problematic in high-energy ion implanters, where high beam energy will increase the generation of neutron radiation. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an ion implanter beam line, which can suppress neutron radiation generated during the operation of the implanter. Another object is to provide a wire harness of a suppression mechanism type that is connected to and communicates with the inside of the mass analysis magnet.

The neutron suppression cavity provides a suppression space communicating with the inner area of the magnet, and a neutron absorption wall partially defining the suppression space. The neutron absorption wall is at least partially covered by a lining, and can release neutrons when hit by a deuteron carried by an ion beam passing through the suppression space.

Description of the Invention (G) A first flag Faraday 31 of the beam current of the linear accelerator 18. A second flag Faraday 35 is located in the resolver housing 23 and used to Measure the ion beam current before implanting the wafer W. The ion beam 15 extracted from the ion source 14 passes through a source defining the aperture 36 before entering the mass analysis magnet assembly 16 (see also FIG. 2). The ion beam of the analytical magnet assembly 16 is typically composed of a single isotope and enters the RF linear accelerator 18, which provides additional energy to the passing ion beam. The RF linear accelerator generates a particle acceleration field that periodically changes with time, and its phase Can be adjusted to match particles with different atomic order and particles with different velocities. Each of the plurality of resonator modules 20 in the RF linear accelerator 18 is used to further accelerate ions beyond what they reached from the previous module Γ (Immediately after each resonator module 20 is an electrostatic quadruple lens 40. The quadruple lens 40 refocuses the passed ion beam to offset the ion beam. The net-like radiation defocusing effect produced when a beam passes through a specific resonator module 20. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the quadruple lens 40 can also be placed immediately before and after the RF linear accelerator 18.

One side of the inside of the housing 44 is lined with a striking plate 46, and a part of the other side is lined with a striking plate 48. The remaining portion on the other side inside the housing 44 communicates with a neutron suppression cavity 52 constructed in accordance with the present invention, which will be described in more detail later. 9 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public love) —.----------------- Order --------- ( Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) A7 527618 __B7__ V. Description of the invention M) Mass analysis magnet assembly 16 is used to make the ions generated by the ion source 14 with only the appropriate charge-to-mass ratio to the RF linear accelerator 18 . The need for a mass-resolving magnet is because the ion source, in addition to producing ions with an appropriate charge-to-mass ratio, also produces ions that have a larger or smaller charge-to-mass ratio than the implant. Ions with an inappropriate charge-to-mass ratio are not suitable for implantation on a wafer. The ion beam passing through the inner region 49 of the mass resolving magnet is focused at a resolution aperture 50 before entering the RF linear accelerator 18. The required ions with the appropriate charge-to-mass ratio move along path 15b, more precisely within the ion beam path envelope defined by paths 15a and 15c, because of the repulsive force of the charge-like (positive) ions in the beam, And some sort of beam divergence occurs. The path labeled L depicts the path of an undesired ion with a charge-to-mass ratio that is greater than the required charge-to-mass ratio of the implanted substance (ie, the ion's atomic mass is too low or too light). The path labeled Η represents the path of undesired ions that have a charge-to-mass ratio that is less than the required charge-to-mass ratio of the implanted material (ie, the ionic atomic mass is too high or too heavy). The trajectory of light ions (path L) is more affected by the magnetic field than the trajectory of the desired ions, and the light ions hit the striking plate 46. The trajectory of heavy ions (path Η) is less affected by the magnetic field than the trajectory of the desired ions, which is less affected, and these heavy ions enter the neutron suppression cavity 52. The heavy ions entering the suppression cavity 52 include deuterons which are extracted from the ion source and carried by the path Η and the neutral part of the ion beam. The striking plates 46 and 48 constitute the peripheral boundary of the inner area 49 of the magnet. The suppression cavity 52 coupled to the magnet housing 44 includes a wall 54 having a striking plate lining 56 covering a portion thereof (see also Fig. 3). The paper size of the inner area of the magnet is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 cm). ------------.-- installation -------- order --------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 527618 A7 _____B7___ V. Description of the invention (?) The domain 49 communicates with a cavity suppression space 58. Part of the striking plate lining 56 is made of graphite, which is typically It is a synthetic material composed of carbon c_12 and C-13 isotopes. Wall 54 is made of neutron-absorbing materials, such as polyethylene or paraffin. Other materials that may be used to make walls include boron-containing or boric acid polyethylene, lithium polyethylene , Boron polysilicon, neutron tin oxide, or polycast. Deuterons moving along the path Η pass through the suppression space 58 ′ defined by the strike plate lining 56 and wall 54 and hit the lining. Neutron radiation is generated intermittently. However, any neutrons radiated or released from the lining 56 due to deuteron strikes are contained within the suppression cavity 52, mainly by the wall 54 not being covered by the lining 56 Part 60. These parts 60 absorb the neutrons produced or substantially reduce their energy, making Negative effects of neutron radiation. Γ (Thus, a preferred embodiment of a mechanism for preventing neutron radiation from the beamline of the neutron implanter has been described. However, according to the previous description, it should be understood that only the By way of example, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various reorganizations and modifications can be made relative to the above description without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the scope of the patent application and its equivalents.
