What it is

The Axcelis NV GSD HE is an ion implantation system.[2]

How it works

The NV GSD HE includes a high-voltage power supply, terminal power supplies, gas box elements, vacuum pumps, valves, resonant cavities, and ion sources.[1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The NV GSD HE fits into the wafer-handling and beamline portion of the implantation flow, with chamber, beamline, gas delivery, vacuum, and power subsystems supporting implantation.[1][2][3]

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implantation is used to introduce controlled dopant species into semiconductor wafers.

The NV GSD HE is a mature-node wafer implantation tool class suited to semiconductor device fabrication on silicon wafers.
