ABSTRACT:
An ion beam monitoring system includes a charge neutralization system and a sensor. The charge neutralization system is configured to provide a compensating current to control a charge on a front surface of a wafer. The sensor is configured to sense the compensating current and provide a sensor signal in response to the compensating current, wherein the sensor signal is representative of a beam current of an ion beam. The charge neutralization system may include a plasma flood gun configured to provide the compensating current to the ion beam.
