Abstract:
1. A process for implanting silaborane molecules, the process comprising: vaporizing and ionizing silaborane molecules in an ion source to create a plasma and produce ionized silaborane molecules and ionized lower mass byproducts, wherein the silaborane molecules comprise an icosahedral structure; extracting the ionized silaborane molecules and ionized lower mass byproducts within the plasma through a source aperture to form an ion beam; mass analyzing the ion beam with a mass analyzer magnet to permit the ionized silaborane molecules or a selected ionized mass of the lower mass byproducts to pass therethrough; transporting the ion beam and/or optionally applying additional acceleration or deceleration potentials to set the final energy; and implanting the ionized silaborane molecules or the selected ionized mass of the lower mass byproducts into a workpiece.
