摘要
It is commonly accepted, that one of the favourable features of plasma immersion ion implantation in comparison to conventional beam-line ion implantation is its ability to treat non-planar samples without complicated workpiece and beam manipulation. Therefore, it is of particular interest to study the homogeneity of PIII treatment of three-dimensional bodies. In the present paper, homogeneity measurements are of PIII treated model systems are discussed, Wedge-shaped specimens (V- and D-shaped) with different angles made of silicon were treated by plasma immersion ion implantation with argon ions. The voltage pulse heights ranged between 30 and 45 kV. The samples were analysed for retained implantation dose by lateral Rutherford backscattering measurements. These show that large gradients in implantation dose develop under the chosen PIII conditions. An explanation for these gradients is a misalignment of electric field lines, crooked near the edges of samples, and ion trajectories, due to the inertia of the ions.
