Abstract

See full text

An ion implanter and an ion implant method for achieving a two-dimensional implantation on a wafer are disclosed. The ion implanter includes an ion source, a mass analyzer, a wafer driving mechanism, an aperture mechanism, and an aperture driving mechanism. The ion source and the mass analyzer are capable of providing an ion beam. The wafer driving mechanism is configured to drive a wafer along only a first direction. The aperture mechanism has an aperture for filtering the ion beam before the wafer is implanted. The aperture driving mechanism is configured to drive the aperture along a second direction intersecting the first direction. By moving the wafer and the aperture along different directions separately, the projection of the ion beam can achieve a two-dimensional implantation on the wafer. Here, at least one of the directions is optionally parallel to the longer dimension of the two-dimensional cross-section of the ion beam.
