Ion implantation through laser fields

Ions are generated and directed toward a workpiece. A laser source generates a laser that is projected above the workpiece in a line. As the laser is generated, a fraction of the ions are blocked by the laser. This may enable selective implantation or modification of the workpiece. In one particular...

Summary:Ions are generated and directed toward a workpiece. A laser source generates a laser that is projected above the workpiece in a line. As the laser is generated, a fraction of the ions are blocked by the laser. This may enable selective implantation or modification of the workpiece. In one particular embodiment, the lasers are generated while ions are directed toward the workpiece and then stopped. Ions are still directed toward the workpiece after the lasers are stopped.
