Abstract: Ion implantation systems and methods implant varying energies of an ion beam across a workpiece in a serial single-workpiece end station, where electrodes of an acceleration/deceleration stage, bend electrode and/or energy filter control a final energy or path of the ion beam to the workpiece. The bend electrode or an energy filter can form part of the acceleration/deceleration stage or can be positioned downstream. A scanning apparatus scans the ion beam and/or the workpiece, and a power source provides varied electrical bias signals to the electrodes. A controller selectively varies the electrical bias signals concurrent with the scanning of the ion beam and/or workpiece through the ion beam based on a desired ion beam energy at the workpiece. A waveform generator can provide the variation and synchronize the electrical bias signals supplied to the acceleration/deceleration stage, bend electrode and/or energy filter.

Abstract: A plasma treatment system solves the problem of providing independent control over ion and neutral particle fluxes by separating the workpiece from the plasma and placing the workpiece on a movable stage. Extraction electrodes are used to extract ions from the plasma and beam them at the workpiece. The neutral particles are allowed to project from the plasma to the workpiece. The neutral particle flux has a much stronger dependence on distance from the plasma source than the ion flux. Accordingly, the neutral particle to ion flux ratio may be adjusted by moving the stage toward or away from the plasma source. This system has the additional advantage of enabling directional processing wherein the workpiece is held at a tilt with respect to the ion beam as the workpiece is scanned through the ion beam.
