Abstract: An ion beam implanter includes an ion beam source for generating an ion beam moving along a beam line and a vacuum or implantation chamber wherein a workpiece is positioned to intersect the ion beam for ion implantation of a surface of the workpiece by the ion beam. The ion beam implanter further includes a workpiece support structure coupled to the implantation chamber and supporting the workpiece. The workpiece support structure includes a rotation member rotatably affixed to the implantation chamber. Rotation of the rotation member with respect to the implantation chamber changes an implantation angle of the workpiece with respect to the portion of the ion beam beam line within the implantation chamber. The workpiece support structure further includes a translation member disposed within the implantation chamber, movably coupled to the rotation member and supporting the workpiece for linear movement along a path of travel. The translation member includes a linear motor.

Abstract: Cache memory interrupt service routines (ISRs) influence the replacement of necessary instructions of the instruction stream they interrupt; it is known as "instruction cache washing," since the instructions contained in the instruction cache prior to execution of the ISR are overwritten by the ISRs instructions. To reduce trashing of the instruction cache memory, the instruction cache is dynamically partitioned into a first memory portion and a second memory portion during execution. The first memory portion is for storing instructions of the current instruction stream, and the second memory portion is for storing instructions of the ISR. Thus, the ISR only affects the second memory portion and leaves instruction data stored within the first memory portion intact. This partitioning of the instruction cache reduces processor fetch operations as well as reduces power consumption of the instruction cache memory.
