System, apparatus and method for bunched ribbon ion beam

Abstract:

An apparatus may include a scanner, arranged to receive an ion beam, and arranged to deliver a scan signal, defined by a scan period, to scan the ion beam between a first beamline side and a second beamline side. The apparatus may include a corrector module, disposed downstream of the scanner, and defining a variable path length for the ion beam, between the first beamline side and the second beamline side, wherein a difference in propagation time between a first ion path along the first beamline side and a second ion path along the second beamline side is equal to the scan period.
