What it is

The Applied Materials PI 9500 Ion is an ion implanter for semiconductor manufacturing.[1]

How it works

The Applied Materials PI 9500 Ion uses a beamline, a Bernas source type, a single-bellows extraction type, and a plasma flood system.[1]

The Applied Materials PI 9500 Ion supports variable tilt from zero to seven degrees.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Applied Materials PI 9500 Ion is arranged for through-wall layout with top-feed utilities and remote operation through a six-meter umbilical.[1]

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implantation is used to form doped regions in semiconductor devices and to tune conductivity near the wafer surface.
