EHP 500 Ion
What it is
The Varian EHP 500 Ion is an ion implanter used for ion implantation in semiconductor manufacturing.[1][3]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn ion implanter accelerates ions and directs them into a wafer surface to modify material properties near the surface.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIon implantation is a doping and modification step in the semiconductor process flow.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIon implantation is used to introduce controlled dopants into semiconductor wafers and to adjust near-surface electrical properties.

Frequently asked questions
What process steps usually surround implantation?General reference — not yet source-verified
Implantation is commonly performed after masking layers and patterned openings have been created by deposition, lithography, and etch. After the implant, wafers typically proceed to cleaning and thermal treatment so that dopants become electrically active and lattice damage is reduced.
