ABSTRACT:
An Electron flood apparatus for neutralizing positive charge build-up on substrate during implantation of ions in a substrate by ion beam implantation apparatus. The electron flood apparatus comprises a tube for axially receiving and passing an ion beam to a substrate, an opening in a sidewall of the tube, a plasma chamber having an exit aperture in communication with said opening of said tube, a supply of inert gas to said plasma chamber, a high frequency power generator, and means to deliver high frequency power from said generator to maintain a plasma in said chamber to produce low energy electrons, whereby a flux of said low energy electrons emerges from said chamber through said exit aperture into said tube to merge with the ion beam.
