Claim Text:
1. A processing system comprising: a plasma source chamber configured to generate a plasma; an extraction assembly adjacent the plasma source chamber having an extraction plate and a beam modifier, the extraction plate defining an extraction plate plane and an aperture to extract ions from the plasma source chamber into an ion beam, the beam modifier disposed within the plasma source chamber between the plasma and the extraction plate and operative to adjust an ion beam trajectory angle of the ion beam with respect to a perpendicular to the extraction plate plane; and a neutralizer to receive the ion beam extracted by the extraction assembly, convert the ion beam to a neutral beam and direct the neutral beam towards a substrate, the neutralizer having one or more neutralizer plates arranged at a neutralizer plate angle, wherein the extraction assembly and the neutralizer are interoperative to provide an ion beam incident angle of the ion beam with respect to the one or more neutralizer plates.
