Ion Implantation Equipment And Techniques Proceedings Of The 3 International Conference On Ion Implantation Equipment And Techniques Queens University Kingston Ont 1980

The Fourth International Conference on Ion Implantation: Equipment and Tech niques was held at the Convention Center in Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, Germany, from September 13 to 17, 1982. It was attended by more than 200 participants from over 20 different countries. Severa1 series of conferences have dealt with the app1ication of ion implantation to semiconductors and other materials (Thousand Oaks, 1970; Garmisch-Partenkirchen, 1971; Osaka, 1974; Warwick, 1975; Bou1der, 1975; Budapest, 1978; and Albany, 1980). Another series of conferences has been devoted to implantation equipment and techniques (S- ford, 1977; Trento, 1978; and Kingston, 1980). This conference was the fourth in the 1atter series. Twe1ve invited papers and 55 contributed papers covered the areas of ion implantation equipment, measuring techniques, and app1ica tions of implantation to metals and semiconductors. A schoo1 on ion implantation was held in connection with the conference, and the 1ectures presented at this schoo1 were pub1ished as Vo1. 10 of the Springer Series in E1ectrophysics under the tit1e Ion Implantation Techniques (edited by H. Rysse1 and H. G1awischnig). During the conference, space was also provided for presentations and demonstrations by manufacturers of ion implantation equipment. Once again, this conference provided a forum for free discussion among implantation specia1ists in industry as we11 as research institutions. Espe cially effective in stimulating a free exchange of information was the daily get-together over free beer at the "Bier Adam". Many people contributed to the success of this conference.

In recent years, ion implantation has developed into the major doping technique for integrated circuits. Several series of conferences have dealt with the application of ion implantation to semiconductors and other materials (Thousand Oaks 1970, Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1971, Osaka 1974, Warwick 1975, Boulder 1976, Budapest 1978, and Albany 1980). Another series of conferences was devoted more to implantation equipment and tech­ niques (Salford 1977, Trento 1978, and Kingston 1980). In connection with the Third International Conference on Ion Implantation: Equipment and Tech­ niques, held at Queen's University,' Kingston, Ontario, Canada, July 8-11, 1980, a two-day instructional program was organized parallel to an implan­ tation conference for the first time. This implantation school concentra­ ted on aspects of implantation-equipment design. This book contains all lectures presented at the International Ion Implantation School organized in connection with the Fourth International Conference on Ion Implantation: Equipment and Techniques, held at the Convention Center, Berchtesgaden, Germany, September 13-17, 1982. In con­ trast to the first .school, the main emphasis in thiS school was placed on practical aspects of implanter operation and application. In three chap­ ters, various machine aspects of ion implantation (general concepts, ion sources, safety, calibration, dOSimetry), range distributions (stopping power, range profiles), and measuring techniques (electrical and nonelec­ tri ca 1 measu ri ng techni ques, annea 1 i ng) are di scussed. In the appendi x, a review of the state of the art in modern implantation equipment is given.

During the past ten years the use of ion implantation for doping semiconductors has become an active area of research and new device development. This doping technique has recently reached a level of maturity such that it is an integral step in the manu facturing of discrete semiconductor devices and integrated circuits. Ion implantation has significant advantages over diffusion such as: precision, purity, versatility, and automation; all of which are important for VLSI purposes. Ion implantation has also found new applications in magnetic bubble domain materials, superconductors, and materials synthesis. This book is a comprehensive bibliography of 2467 references of the world's literature on ion implantation as applied to micro electronics. This compilation will easily enable researchers to compare their work with that of others. For easy access to the needed references, the contents are divided into fifty-two subject headings. The main categories are: bibliographies, books and symposia, review articles, theory, materials, device applications, and equipment. An author index and a subject index are also given to provide easy access to the references. The literature from January 1976 to December 1980 is covered. The literature prior to 1976 is the subject, in part, of a previous book by the author (1). The main sources searched were: Physics Abstracts (PA) , Electrical and Electronics Abstracts (EEA) , Chemical Abstracts (CA) , Nuclear Science Abstracts (NSA) , and Engineering Index. The volumes and numbers of the abstracts are given to pro vide access to the abstracts.
