Abstract

A high aspect ratio collimating mask for use in ion beam epitaxy or ion implantation doping is formed through the use of damage-trail-forming materials which are irradiated through a mask and then etched. The high aspect ratio is obtained in part by the sequential formation of a plurality of spaced mask plates. The mask is useful in producing large scale integrated circuits by ion implantation during epitaxial growth of a crystal wafer.
