Status Of The Production Use Of Ion Implantation For IC Manufacture And Requirements For Competitive Application Of Focused Ion Beams

Abstract
An outline is given of the range of applications and limitations of "broad beam" implantation techniques for LSI and VLSI device fabrication. Some of these limitations include dose uniformity and accuracy, resist stability and erosion, wafer heating effects during implantation, surface contamination and charging effects. The impact of these and other issues on the fabrication of fine feature (less than 0.5 micron) devices, including a comparison of the application of focused ion beams for direct implantation is discussed.© (1983) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
