Radiation Issues Surrounding Very High Energy Ion Implantation . Two papers were given on this subject, both based on older data but consolidated and made public for the first time. The primary focus is the possible production of neutron radiation by high energy beams. Implantation is generally a very safe process, since the known hazards are easily controlled and mitigated, but it would be possible to accelerate beams producing hazardous radiation if the safe limits were not understood.

Click here to download paper This tool produces maps with phenomenal spatial and dose resolution. It maps wafer dose with a sensitivity of ~0.7. The implant is extremely uniform, yet look at the 0.18% contours, which reproduce faithfully if re-scanned.  A 32000 point image is scanned in 2 minutes.
