Abstract:
An ion implantation system has an ion source configured form an ion beam and an angular energy filter (AEF) having an AEF region. A gas source passivates and/or etches a film residing on the AEF by a reaction of the film with a gas. The gas can be an oxidizing gas or a fluorine-containing gas. The gas source can selectively supply the gas to the AEF region concurrent with a formation of the ion beam. The AEF is heated to assist in the passivation and/or etching of the film by the gas. The heat can originate from the ion beam, and/or from an auxiliary heater associated with the AEF. A manifold distributor can be operably coupled to the gas source and configured to supply the gas to one or more AEF electrodes.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for mitigating a deposition of a film on one or more components of an ion implantation system, the method comprising:\n supplying a gas to one or more regions associated with the respective one or more components, wherein the gas is configured to passivate and/or etch the film residing on the one or more components via a reaction of the film with the gas.
