Third-generation plasma immersion ion implanter for biomedical materials and research
نویسندگان
چکیده
A third generation plasma immersion ion implanter dedicated to biomedical materials and research has been designed and constructed. The distinct improvement over first and second generation multipurpose plasma immersion ion implantation equipment is that hybrid and combination techniques utilizing metal and gas plasmas, sputter deposition, and ion beam enhanced deposition can be effectively conducted in the same machine. The machine consists of four sets of high-efficiency metal arc plasma sources with magnetic filters, a custom designed high voltage modulator for operation up to 60 kV, a separate high-frequency, low-voltage power supply for hybrid treatment processes, special rotating sample stage for samples with an irregular shape, and other advanced features. The machine has been installed at Southwest Jiaotong University and operated reliably for 6 months. This article describes the design principles and performances of the machine as well as pertinent biomedical applications. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1340029#

Separation by Plasma Implantation of Oxygen (SPIMOX) Operational Phase Space
Separation by plasma implantation of oxygen (SPIMOX) has been suggested as an economic alternative for separation by implantation of oxygen (SIMOX) to form the silicon-oninsulator (SOI) structure. The chief advantage of SPIMOX is the high throughput and low-cost implanter. The operation regime of implantation for SPIMOX, which uses dc plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) for the oxygen impl...
