Abstract

An ion implantation method for achieving angular uniformity throughout a workpiece and application thereof are provided. The ion beam has at least one beamlet striking the workpiece surface with corresponding incident angles. The workpiece is mapped to an imaginary planar coordinate system. The incident angle of a center beamlet of the ion beam has a projection on the coordinate system forming a projection angle with an axis thereof. A workpiece orientation of the workpiece is adjusted based on the projection angle such that the contribution of each beamlet to the overall ion beam intensity upon striking the workpiece surface is rendered substantially the same from respective directions of each of the coordinate axes.
