What it is

The NV 10 SD 160 is an ion implantation system. Axcelis manufactures the NV 10 SD 160.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implanters produce a beam of ionized dopant species. The beam is filtered by a mass analyzer to isolate the desired isotope. The selected ions are then accelerated to a set energy and directed onto the wafer. Scanning ensures a uniform dose across the substrate.

The acceleration energy determines the depth of ion penetration. The ion dose controls the concentration of dopant atoms. Implantation is a non-thermal process, allowing precise doping profiles.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implantation is used after photoresist patterning to dope selected regions of the wafer. The process is followed by an annealing step to activate the implanted atoms.
