Techniques for ion beam current measurement using a scanning beam current transformer

Abstract

Techniques for ion beam current measurement using a scanning beam current transformer are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as an apparatus for ion beam current measurement using a transformer. The apparatus may comprise a measurement device positioned adjacent a wafer and an ion dose control module coupled to the measurement device. The measurement device may comprise a transformer through which an ion beam passes onto the wafer. The ion dose control module may calculate ion beam current passing through the transformer and adjust dose based at least in part upon the calculated ion beam current.
