APPARATUS AND SYSTEM HAVING EXTRACTION ASSEMBLY FOR WIDE ANGLE ION BEAM

Abstract:

An ion beam processing apparatus may include a plasma chamber, and a plasma plate, disposed alongside the plasma chamber, where the plasma plate defines a first extraction aperture. The apparatus may include a beam blocker, disposed within the plasma chamber and facing the extraction aperture. The apparatus may further include a non-planar electrode, disposed adjacent the beam blocker and outside of the plasma chamber; and an extraction plate, disposed outside the plasma plate, and defining a second extraction aperture, aligned with the first extraction aperture.
