Abstract

See full text

The invention includes a high-voltage gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) processing system for treating a workpiece using a gas cluster ion beam. The high-voltage GCIB processing system includes a high-voltage (HV) source system that includes a high-voltage (HV) source chamber having a high-voltage (HV) nozzle subassembly, a nozzle element, and a high-voltage (HV) skimmer subassembly therein. The high-voltage gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) processing system includes a high-voltage (HV) power supply coupled to the HV nozzle subassembly and the HV skimmer subassembly. A high-voltage (HV) ionization chamber can be coupled to the HV source chamber and can include an ionizer coupled to the chamber wall by an isolation structure. In addition, a grounded GCIB processing chamber can be coupled to the HV ionization chamber by an isolation structure and can include a scanable workpiece holder.
