What it is
The Varian EHPI 500 Medium Current is an ion implantation tool.[2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn ion implanter accelerates dopant ions into a semiconductor wafer surface to modify near-surface electrical properties.
A medium-current implanter is generally used as a beam-based implantation system in which the wafer is exposed to a controlled ion beam under process conditions set by the implant recipe.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIon implantation sits in the front-end semiconductor process flow as a doping step.
Ion implantation is typically used after patterning steps define where dopants should enter the wafer and before later thermal processing activates and redistributes the implanted species.
Applications
The Varian EHPI 500 Medium Current is used for ion implantation in semiconductor manufacturing.[2]
