What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn ion implanter forms an ion beam and directs that beam at a wafer surface to introduce dopant species into near-surface regions.
Ion implantation is used as a controlled doping step because beam energy and dose determine how many ions are delivered and how deeply they are placed in the wafer.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIon implantation is a front-end doping process that follows pattern definition and precedes thermal steps that activate dopants and repair implantation damage.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIon implantation is used to form regions with tailored electrical properties in integrated circuits.
