About Ion Implanter

Ion implantation is a major process carried out to introduce dopants in a semiconductor. Implanters bombard wafers with foreign atoms to modify material properties such as conductivity or crystal structure. The main part of an implanter system is the beam path, wherein the ions are generated, concentrated, accelerated, and passed at high speed to the wafer. The conductivity of semiconductor devices such as silicon, germanium, and III-VI compounds (e.g., gallium arsenate) is altered by doping them with n or p type dopants. Out of the two methods used for doping semiconductors, diffusion and ion implantation, the diffusion was the most preferred method before the 1970s. However, doping processes by ion implantation are being preferred for IC fabrication currently.
