Generation of a boron ion beam in a modified ion source for semiconductor applications

Presented here are results of experimental studies on the production of intense beams of boron ions using a modified Bernas–Calutron ion source. Instead of using the conventional boron–trifluoride gas, a solid lithium–boron–tetrafluoride compound was heated to release boron–trifluoride. For optimum...

Zusammenfassung:Presented here are results of experimental studies on the production of intense beams of boron ions using a modified Bernas–Calutron ion source. Instead of using the conventional boron–trifluoride gas, a solid lithium–boron–tetrafluoride compound was heated to release boron–trifluoride. For optimum ion source parameters the measured 25–41mA of total ion beam current was composed of 70% singly charged and about 1% doubly charged boron ions.
