Abstract

A high throughput ion implantation system that rapidly and efficiently processes large quantities of flat panel displays. The ion implantation system has an ion source, an electrode assembly, a platform mounting a workpiece, and a ion beam measuring structure. The ion source in conjunction with the electrode assembly forms an ion beam in the shape of a ribbon beam. The ion beam is formed and directed such that a first portion of the ion beam treats the workpiece while a second portion of the ion beam is contemporaneously measured by the beam measuring structure. A controller obtains data from the beam measuring structure on the ion beam's parameters, and then generates control signals to the ion implantation system in response to the data.
