Abstract: After formation of a silicon Fin part on a silicon substrate, a thin film including an impurity atom which becomes a donor or an acceptor is formed so that a thickness of the thin film formed on the surface of an upper flat portion of the silicon Fin part becomes large relative to a thickness of the thin film formed to the surface of side wall portions of the silicon Fin part. A first diagonal ion implantation from a diagonal upper direction to the thin film is performed and subsequently a second diagonal ion implantation is performed from an opposite diagonal upper direction to the thin film. Recoiling of the impurity atom from the inside of the thin film to the inside of the side wall portions and to the inside of the upper flat portion is realized by performing the first and second diagonal ion implantations.

Abstract: In an irradiation system with an ion beam/charged particle beam having an energy filter, the energy filter is formed by deflection electrodes and a deflection magnet which can be switchingly used. The deflection magnet has a general window-frame shape and is formed with a hollow portion at its center. The deflection electrodes are installed, along with suppression electrodes, in a vacuum chamber arranged in the hollow portion of the deflection magnet. The deflection electrodes are installed with respect to the deflection magnet such that a deflection trajectory of a beam caused by a magnetic field and a deflection trajectory of a beam caused by an electric field overlap each other. Since the deflection electrodes and the deflection magnet can be switchingly used, the system can deal with a wider range of beam conditions and thus is widely usable.

The generated first plasma is extracted from the first arc chamber and introduced into the second arc chamber. Second plasma is produced in the second arc chamber, and second extracted plasma from the second arc chamber forms a plasma bridge between the second extraction hole and the reciprocal swinging beam.

Abstract: The present invention is applied to an ion implanter provided with a vacuum pressure compensation mechanism. The pressure compensation mechanism samples measured beam currents and vacuum pressures in the vicinity of wafers in preliminary implantation and stores function parameters in a memory unit which are obtained by calculating parameters of a predetermined function by fitting the relationship between the measured beam currents and the vacuum pressures. In actual implantation, the pressure compensation mechanism corrects the measured beam current using the function parameters stored as a function of the vacuum pressure, and based on the corrected beam current, the dosage control is performed. In the present invention, an actual beam loss is compensated for based on the estimation from a pressure in the vicinity of the wafers in a region downstream of a mass analysis slit.
