What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Varian 160 XP is an ion implanter used in semiconductor manufacturing for doping silicon wafers with dopant atoms.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The beam is mass-analyzed to select only the desired isotope, then focused and scanned either by electrostatic or mechanical means. The wafer is held on a platen that may be tilted to control channeling effects.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Applications include source/drain implants, polysilicon gate doping, and deep well implants for both bipolar and CMOS technologies. High-current implanters are typically employed for high-dose, low-energy implants.
