  • Patent number: 7597531
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of controlling a mover device The method includes generating a moving force from a moving force generating unit to move a processing base with respect to a movable base, thereby moving the processing base with respect to a fixed base as a result of the movement of the processing base with respect to the movable base; moving the movable base on the fixed base in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the processing base by virtue of a reaction force caused by the moving force generated from the moving force generating unit to move the processing base, so that the movable base moves in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the processing base on the fixed base. The method further includes controlling the moving velocity of the processing base with respect to the fixed base.

  • Patent number: 7187143
    Abstract: A mover device and an ion implanter apparatus having a processing base that reciprocates at a high speed without undesirable noise and vibration are provided. The mover device includes: a fixed base; a movable base that is linearly movable with respect to the fixed base; a processing base that is linearly movable with respect to the movable base; a main linear motor that generates a moving force to move the processing base with respect to the movable base, thereby moving the processing base with respect to the fixed base; and a velocity control unit that controls the moving velocity of the processing base with respect to the fixed base. In this mover device, the movable base is moved by virtue of a reaction force caused by the moving force to move the processing base.

  • Publication number: 20050188924
    Abstract: A method of controlling a mover device that includes: a fixed base; a movable base that is moveable in a linear direction with respect to the fixed base; a processing base that is movable in a linear direction with respect to the movable base, the linear direction being in parallel with the linear moving direction of the movable base; and a moving force generating unit that is provided between the processing base and the movable base, and forms a main moving unit in cooperation with the processing base and the movable base, includes the steps of: generating a moving force from the moving force generating unit to move the processing base with respect to the movable base, thereby moving the processing base with respect to the fixed base as a result of the movement of the processing base with respect to the movable base; moving the movable base on the fixed base in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the processing base by virtue of a reaction force caused by the moving force generated from the mov

  • Patent number: 6573517
    Abstract: An ion injecting apparatus has an ion source, a mass-analyzing magnet, an accelerating/decelerating element, and deflecting elements. The mass analyzing magnet mass-analyzes an ion beam extracted from the ion source. The accelerating/de-celerating element accelerates and decelerates the ion beam at a post-stage. The deflecting elements are arranged between the mass analyzing magnet and the accelerating/decelerating element. Each direction angle of the deflecting element is determined such that a final beam trajectory in the predetermined area before being introduced into a wafer substrate is matched to each other in both an operating mode and a non-operating mode of the deflecting elements.
