Abstract

A controlled deceleration potential is provided in an ion implanter between the target and the flight tube through the mass selector, by means of a variable resistance comprising a series of HEXFETs. The series of HEXFETs conduct current absorbed by the substrate back to the flight tube so that a desired decelertion potential can be formed.
