As the MeV ion implantation market expands and matures, the tools used for the high energy processes must meet stringent customer requirements. In order to meet the needs of production users, Genus Inc. has developed the Tandetron" 1520 MeV ion implantation system. The Tandetron" 1520 is a third-generation high energy ion implanter which evolved from the successful Genus 1510 system. In this work, a review of the key performance characteristics of the system are presented. Included are parameters such as beam generation, implant profiles, wafer throughputs, particle performance, automation capabilities, and maintainability. In particular, the following features are highlighted: (1) energy range expansion, (2) footprint reduction, (3) ion source innovations, (4) control system and user interface enhancements, and, (5) maintenance simplification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
