Abstract
In an ion implantation method, ion implantation into a substrate is performed while changing a relative positional relation between an ion beam and the substrate. A first ion implantation process in which a uniform dose amount distribution is formed within the substrate and a second ion implantation process in which a non-uniform dose amount distribution is formed within the substrate are performed in a predetermined order. Moreover, a cross-sectional size of an ion beam irradiated on the substrate during the second ion implantation process is set smaller than a cross-sectional size of an ion beam irradiated on the substrate during the first ion implantation process.
Claims4
An ion implantation apparatus that performs ion implantation into a substrate while changing a relative positional relation between an ion beam and the substrate, the ion implantation apparatus comprising:
- a beam shaping member that performs adjustment so as to shape the ion beam irradiated on the substrate;
- and
- a control device configured to control the ion implantation apparatus to perform a first ion implantation process in which a uniform dose amount distribution is formed within the substrate, and a second ion implantation process in which a non-uniform dose amount distribution is formed within the substrate in a predetermined order,
- wherein the control device is further configured to control the beam shaping member to set a cross-sectional size of an ion beam that is irradiated on the substrate during the second ion implantation process smaller than a cross-sectional size of an ion beam that is irradiated on the substrate during the first ion implantation process, wherein the first ion implantation process and the second ion implantation process are performed on an entire surface of the substrate.
