What it is

The system operates on a 3-phase, 5-wire, 208-volt electrical configuration and uses an E-clamp 6-inch wafer clamping mechanism.[1][2][3]

The E 220 is equipped with two loading chambers and employs single-blade processing.[1][2][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implanters generate a beam of charged ions from a source gas, accelerate the ions to a desired energy, filter the beam by mass-to-charge ratio using a mass analyzer, and then scan the beam across a wafer held in an end station.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implantation is typically performed in the front-end-of-line (FEOL) portion of wafer fabrication, after epitaxial growth or oxidation and before the annealing step that activates the implanted dopants.

The process step is used to create doped regions such as wells, source/drain extensions, and channel stops in CMOS devices.

Why won't it start?

Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.

  • Turbo Ion Source pump needs to be replaced
  • Turbo pump right side End Station needs to be replaced
  • Cryo pump and sub fab compressor need to be replaced
  • Counter balance needs repair
  • Fiber optic communication cards need to be replaced
  • Power Supply controller (P/N E15001755) needs to be replaced
  • DI water filters need to be replaced
  • Ion source cooling water quick coupling connections need to be replaced
