| 20090206275 | ACCELERATOR PARTICLE BEAM APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LOW CONTAMINATE PROCESSING - A system of introducing a particle beam such as a linear accelerator particle beam for low contaminate processing. The system includes an accelerator apparatus configured to generate a first particle beam including at least a first ionic specie in an energy level of 1 MeV to 5 MeV or greater. Additionally, the system includes a beam filter coupled to the linear accelerator apparatus to receive the first particle beam. The beam filter is in a first chamber and configured to generate a second particle beam with substantially the first ionic specie only. The first chamber is associated with a first pressure. The system further includes an end-station including a second chamber coupled to the first chamber for extracting the second particle beam. The second particle beam is irradiated onto a planar surface of a bulk workpiece loaded in the second chamber for implanting the first ionic specie. The second chamber is associated with a second pressure that is higher than the first pressure. Optional beam scanning can also be added between the beam filter and the end-station. | 08-20-2009 |
