The ion implanter includes an ion source, a mass analyzer, a wafer driving mechanism, an aperture mechanism, and an aperture driving mechanism. The ion source and the mass analyzer are capable of providing an ion beam. The wafer driving mechanism is configured to drive a wafer along only a first direction. The aperture mechanism has an aperture for filtering the ion beam before the wafer is implanted. The aperture driving mechanism is configured to drive the aperture along a second direction intersecting the first direction. By moving the wafer and the aperture along different directions separately, the projection of the ion beam can achieve a two-dimensional implantation on the wafer. Here, at least one of the directions is optionally parallel to the longer dimension of the two-dimensional cross-section of the ion beam. | 03-03-2011 |
20110229987 | METHOD FOR LOW TEMPERATURE ION IMPLANTATION - Techniques for low temperature ion implantation are provided to improve throughput. Specifically, the pressure of the backside gas may temporarily, continually or continuously increase before the starting of the implant process, such that the wafer may be quickly cooled down from room temperature to be essentially equal to the prescribed implant temperature. Further, after the vacuum venting process, the wafer may wait an extra time in the load lock chamber before the wafer is moved out the ion implanter, in order to allow the wafer temperature to reach a higher temperature quickly for minimizing water condensation on the wafer surface. Furthermore, to accurately monitor the wafer temperature during a period of changing wafer temperature, a non-contact type temperature measuring device may be used to monitor wafer temperature in a real time manner with minimized condensation. | 09-22-2011 |
20110233431 | IMPLANT METHOD AND IMPLANTER BY USING A VARIABLE APERTURE - A variable aperture within an aperture device is used to shape the ion beam before the substrate is implanted by shaped ion beam, especially to finally shape the ion beam in a position right in front of the substrate. Hence, different portions of a substrate, or different substrates, can be implanted respectively by different shaped ion beams without going through using multiple fixed apertures or retuning the ion beam each time. In other words, different implantations may be achieved respectively by customized ion beams without high cost (use multiple fixed aperture devices) and complex operation (retuning the ion beam each time). Moreover, the beam tune process for acquiring a specific ion beam to be implanted may be accelerated, to be faster than using multiple fixed aperture(s) and/or retuning the ion beam each time, because the adjustment of the variable aperture may be achieved simply by mechanical operation. | 09-29-2011 |

20130130484 | ION IMPLANTER AND ION IMPLANT METHOD THEREOF - An ion implanter and an ion implant method are disclosed. Essentially, the wafer is moved along one direction and an aperture mechanism having an aperture is moved along another direction, so that the projected area of an ion beam filtered by the aperture is two-dimensionally scanned over the wafer. Thus, the required hardware and/or operation to move the wafer may be simplified. Further, when a ribbon ion beam is provided, the shape/size of the aperture may be similar to the size/shape of a traditional spot beam, so that a traditional two-dimensional scan may be achieved. Optionally, the ion beam path may be fixed without scanning the ion beam when the ion beam is to be implanted into the wafer, also the area of the aperture may be adjustable during a period of moving the aperture across the ion beam. | 05-23-2013 |

Moreover, the beam tune process for acquiring a specific ion beam to be implanted may be accelerated, to be faster than using multiple fixed aperture(s) and/or retuning the ion beam each time, because the adjustment of the variable aperture may be achieved simply by mechanical operation. | 06-12-2014 |

20110099609 | ISOLATION AND PRESENTATION OF UNTRUSTED DATA - Architecture that provides a secure environment in which data (e.g., code, instructions, files, images, etc.) can be opened and run by a client application. Once opened the data can be viewed (in a “protected view”) by the user without incurring risk to other client processing and systems. Accordingly, the architecture mitigates malicious attacks by enabling users to preview untrusted and potentially harmful data (e.g., files) in a low risk manner. Files opened in the protected view are isolated from accessing key resources on the client computer and provides the user a safer way to read files that can contain dangerous content. The protected view also provides a seamless user experience. The user is unaware that the client is operating on data in a different mode and allows for the reduction of security prompts. | 04-28-2011 |

A processing module of the network processor generates tasks corresponding to each received packet. A packet classification processor determines, independent of a flow identifier of the received task, control data corresponding to each task. A multi-thread instruction engine processes threads of instructions corresponding to received tasks, each task corresponding to a packet flow of the network processor and maintains a thread status table and a sequence counter for each flow. Active threads are tracked by the thread status table, and each status entry includes a sequence value and a flow value identifying the flow. Each sequence counter generates a sequence value for each thread by incrementing the sequence counter each time processing of a thread for the associated flow is started, and decrementing the sequence counter each time a thread for the associated flow is completed. | 04-11-2013 |
20130089099 | Modifying Data Streams without Reordering in a Multi-Thread, Multi-Flow Network Communications Processor Architecture - Described embodiments classify packets received by a network processor. A processing module of the network processor generates tasks corresponding to each received packet. A scheduler generates contexts corresponding to tasks received by the packet classification processor from corresponding processing modules, each context corresponding to a given flow, and stores each context in a corresponding per-flow first-in, first-out buffer of the scheduler. A packet modifier generates a modified packet based on threads of instructions, each thread of instructions corresponding to a context received from the scheduler. The modified packet is generated before queuing the packet for transmission as an output packet of the network processor, and the packet modifier processes instructions for generating the modified packet in the order in which the contexts were generated for each flow, without head-of-line blocking between flows. The modified packets are queued for transmission as an output packet of the network processor. | 04-11-2013 |
