ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling the ion dose implanted in a semiconductor wafer. The wafer is received on a platen which is rotated in discrete steps by a stepper motor. With the wafer in an initial stationary position the dose accumulated by the wafer is measured. When the incremental measured dose equals the total dose to be implanted divided by a predetermined number of steps over which the implant is to be carried out, the motor is stepped one increment. This process is then repeated until the total desired dose is attained.
