Abstract: Methods of interfacing parts in a high voltage environment and related structures are disclosed. A method comprises: providing a first part and a second part; and interfacing the first part and the second part to create a first substantially zero electrical field area at a first outer extent of an interface between the first and second parts and a reduced electrical field area in a different portion of the interface.

Abstract: An ion implantation system includes an ion source configured to provide an ion beam, a terminal structure defining a cavity, the ion source at least partially disposed within the cavity, and an insulator system. The insulator system is configured to electrically insulate the terminal structure and is configured to provide an effective dielectric strength greater than about 72 kilovolts (kV)/inch in a region proximate at least one exterior surface of the terminal structure. A gas box insulator system to electrically insulate a gas box of the ion implantation system is also provided.

Abstract: Terminal structures of an ion implanter having insulated conductors with dielectric fins are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the terminal structures of an ion implanter may be realized with insulated conductors with one or more dielectric fins. For example, the ion implanter may comprise an ion source configured to provide an ion beam. The ion implanter may also comprise a terminal structure defining a cavity, wherein the ion source may be at least partially disposed within the cavity. The ion implanter may further comprise an insulated conductor having at least one dielectric fin disposed proximate an exterior portion of the terminal structure to modify an electric field.

Abstract: A power supply system for an ion implantation system. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the system may be realized as a power supply system that includes a low frequency power inverter, a stack driver and a high voltage power generation unit that receives source power from the power inverter. The high voltage generation unit may include a high voltage transformer for providing an output power that is multiplied to a desired output level and delivered to an input terminal of an ion beam accelerator. The power supply system may also include a dielectric enclosure that encases at least a portion of the high voltage power generation unit, thereby preventing variation in the break down strength of the internal components.

Abstract: An automated and highly scalable system and method optimizes the selection of allied products in association with a main product. Initially, a plurality of allied products is identified. Each allied product is categorized to determine attributes by which the allied products are evaluated. Each allied product is rated to create a ranked list of allied products. Content, such as textual information, corresponding to each of the allied products is automatically generated using assertion models. Highly customized optimization rules are then applied to refine the ranked list and select optimal allied products. In one application, the optimization rules may be based on business requirements and the selected allied products are cross-sold with the main product on an online retail web site.
