Patent Number: 
Section: claims

1. An apparatus comprising:an apparatus that generates ions and directs said ions to a workpiece; anda laser source that generates a laser, said laser projected above said workpiece in a line, said line disposed above a portion of said workpiece and blocking a fraction of said ions. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said laser source generates a plurality of lasers, each of said plurality of lasers projected above said workpiece in a line. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising at least one reflector, said reflector reflecting said laser whereby said laser forms a plurality of lines above said workpiece. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said ions are disposed in an ion beam. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said ions are disposed in an ion sheath. 6. A method of workpiece processing comprising:generating a laser above a workpiece;directing ions toward said workpiece;blocking a fraction of said ions with said laser; andimpacting said workpiece with said ions in a first region. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising pulsing said laser. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein said generating said laser and said directing said ions are at least partially simultaneous. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein said directing said ions occurs at least partly while said laser is not being generated. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said generating of said laser is stopped thereby forming a wake, and wherein said ions fill said wake. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein said directing said ions comprises applying a bias to said workpiece. 12. The method of claim 6, further comprising generating a second laser above said workpiece and focusing said ions toward said workpiece. 13. The method of claim 6, further comprising biasing said workpiece. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein said biasing occurs during a first period when said directing said ions occurs and further comprising depositing said ions during a second period when said workpiece is not biased, said depositing occurring primarily in a region shadowed by said laser. 15. The method of claim 6, further comprising:generating a second laser configured to shadow said first region;directing a second species of ions toward said workpiece, said second species of ions different from said ions;blocking a fraction of said second species of ions with said second laser; andimpacting said workpiece with said second species of ions in a second region adjacent said first region. 16. A method of workpiece processing comprising:generating a laser above a workpiece;directing ions toward said workpiece; andblocking a fraction of said ions directed through said laser whereby said workpiece is implanted to a first dose in a first region of said workpiece shadowed by said laser and a second dose in a second region of said workpiece. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising stopping said laser from being generated above said workpiece and implanting all of said workpiece with said ions. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein said workpiece is a solar cell.
