What it is

The VIISta HC is an ion implanter manufactured by Applied Materials / Varian.[1][2][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ion implanters generate a beam of ionized dopant atoms from a gaseous or solid source. The beam is mass-analyzed to select the desired ion species, then accelerated to a defined energy before being directed onto the surface of a semiconductor wafer. The wafer is scanned through the beam to achieve uniform doping across its area. In high-current implanters, the beam current is relatively high, enabling faster processing of high-dose implants.
