An ion beam irradiation method comprises calculating a scan voltage correction function with the maximum beam scan width depending on the measurement result of a beam current measurement device, calculating each of more than one scan voltage correction functions corresponding to each of scheduled beam scan widths depending on the calculated scan voltage correction functions while satisfying dose uniformity in the horizontal direction, measuring a mechanical Y-scan position during the ion implantation, changing the scan voltage correction function as a function of the measured mechanical Y-scan position so that the beam scan area becomes a D-shaped multistage beam scan area corresponding to an outer periphery of a half of the wafer to thereby reduce the beam scan width, and changing a mechanical Y-scan speed depending on the change of the measurement result of a side cup current measurement device to thereby keep the dose uniformity in the vertical direction.
An ion beam irradiation system comprising an ion source, a mass analysis magnet, a mass analysis slit, a beam deflection scanner, a beam parallelizing device, and a wafer processing chamber, which are arranged in order so as to form a beam line, an ion beam extracted from a beam extraction electrode being transferred through the beam line and irradiated onto a wafer mounted on a platen, the beam deflection scanner scanning the wafer with the ion beam in a X direction that is a horizontal direction, the platen being moved in a Y direction that is a vertical direction with a wafer mechanical scan device installed in the wafer processing chamber, at least one of side cup current measurement device being arranged at an upstream side of the wafer to measure a beam current with the beam scan in the X direction, a beam current measurement device being arranged in the vicinity of an ion implantation position to the wafer in order to measure a beam current at the ion implantation position,
