Avoiding gate oxide damage due to excessive wafer charging has always been an issue with high current implanters. On the other hand, whether it is caused by shrinking of device dimensions, or its use as a backup for applications, level awareness becomes primary limiting factor running higher beam currents in medium Often cautious approach results lower machine throughput. To present, flooding low energy electrons from electron showers (E-Shower) widely accepted means reducing charging. The...
