CHAPTER: HISTORY of ION IMPLANTATION in SEMICONDUCTORS
Several of my associates have written review papers on various aspects of the history of ion implantation, or their personal views or experiences associated with aspects of the history of ion implantation. In 1988, I went through my files and collected together all of the old historical material, and organized it by year. In what follows here, I review that material, often in historical time order. This material is certainly not complete, and is not intended to be complete. It is just one person's collection of material that circumstances brought together in one file. It does include some material that has not appeared in the papers and reviews of others referred to above. I apologize to any reader who does not find his or her work referred to here.
Because of the treatment of the history of commercial implantation equipment by A.T.
Coughlin, I have chosen not to treat that aspect of the technology, and to include here her work, which has not appeared in the technical literature nor at any of the conferences on Ion
Implantation Equipment and Techniques. However, I do treat information regarding research implantation equipment and historical material related to the development of research/technology in sections of this work.

EARLY PATENTS related to doping semiconductors by ion bombardment or ion implantation:
The strict definition of ion implantation may be interpreted differently by various groups or individuals, depending upon their experience or discipline. As a result of reading some of the early patents, and based on my personal experience in ion implantation, I feel that four significant early patents and their relationship to the technology known today as ion implantation doping of semiconductors are shown in Fig. 1. They are also listed below in more detail, with brief notes about their contents. These four patents are by three originators,
Shockley, Ohl, and Moyer. If we consider the subject of ion bombardment as a more general

classification, and ion implantation as a subclassification, then the 1949 Shockley patent is relevant, but in that case, the doping effect is caused by damage, not by substitutional impurities resulting from implantation. If we consider doping by atoms of opposite conductivity type rather than damage, then the three patents by Ohl, Moyer, and Shockley become significant. The one by Ohl (1950) is a surface effect, and the two in 1954 by Moyer and by
Shockley are for atoms (as ions) "implanted" beneath the surface into the bulk of a semiconductor such that the conductivity type is changed in the implanted region by substitutional placement, which forms a stricter definition of 'ion implantation doping' as known today. 'Ion implantation' has been broadened to include other effects that do not involve doping or conductivity type, for example, materials synthesis, surface modification of metals and ceramics, biology, etc., and so, a broadened definition o f 'ion implantation’ could go back in time even before 1949, to include ion bombardment of other surfaces.
W. Shockley, "Semiconductor translating device," US Patent 2,666,814, filed 27 Apr 1949
(issued ?). make p regions in a n layer of Ge using masked ion bombardment by nuclear particles, e.g., 1 H, 2 H, or 4 He plus annealing at 100 to 400°C for minutes to days.
R.S. Ohl, "Semiconductor translating device," US Patent 2,750,541, filed 31 Jan 1950. (issued
12 June 1956) bombardment by ions of a significant impurity to change the conductivity of the surface of a semiconductor body.
J.W. Moyer, "Method of making p-n junction semiconductor unit," US Patent 2,842,466, filed
15 June 1954 (issued 8 July 1958). bombard semiconductor crystal of one type with ions of an activator element of opposite conductivity type, those ions penetrating below the surface where a p-n (or n-p) junction is formed. control of junction depth, doping, and uniformity of
"ion implantation".
W. Shockley, "Forming semiconductive devices by ionic bombardment," US Patent 2,787,564, filed 28 Oct 1954 (four months after the Moyer patent was filed) (issued 2 Apr 1957). manufacture of semiconductor devices. implantation of a semiconductor with ions of dopants that cause substitutional doping of opposite conductivity type to the material implanted. B &
Ge as example. refers to the related work of Ohl, but notes that Ohl's patent considers change caused on the surface by ion bombardment, while Shockley refers to change caused beneath the surface by "implantation" of the impurity ions (" " my words).
Note also a later patent that speaks to implantation equipment.
W.J. King, "Method of forming a p-n junction by an ionic beam," U.S. Patent 3,388,009, filed
23 June, 1965. uses term "ion implantation" and describes apparatus for implantation, including beam formation, acceleration, mass separation, and scanning.

Early LITERATURE Related to Implanters
Early work that provided a basis for implantation system concepts and components, and for ion implantation itself, in the 1960s, came from work in the areas of particle accelerators (high voltage/energy) and electromagnetic isotope separators (versatile ion beam/element capabilities). Some early work that provided helpful guidance was the doctoral dissertation of O. Almen, "Electromagnetic separation of isotopes in a small laboratory machine," Doktorsavhandlingak vid Chalmers Tekniska Hogskola, Goteborg, 1962, which includes four earlier (1957-1961) papers published in Nucl Instrum 1, 302-322 (1957); 2 , 249-
260 (1958); 11, 257-278 (1961); and 11 , 279-289 (1961). These four works, which include as co-authors, K. O. Nielsen, G. Bruce, and A. Luden, also contributed helpful information regarding sputtering and ion sources. [This work even speaks to ion propulsion (sputtering aspects for lifetime limitations).]
To quote Almen, "Isotope separators are essentially large mass spectrometers."
Likewise, ion implanters are mass spectrometers. The industry has developed high current, commercial ion implanters, but when large volume production is not a requirement, a mass spectrometer with microampere currents of all elements serves as an adequate and useful implanter for research. The trade off is versatility and wide range of variables. The implanters at HRL also served as Rutherford backscattering analyzers, performed channeled implantation, performed implants from 5 keV to 1 MeV (lower fluences), provided implants at temperatures from liquid nitrogen to 500°C, implanted at many angles, implanted essentially all elements in the periodic table (with turn around time from 15 to 60 min), provided energy accuracy to within 1%, and implanted one isotope only for all elements over small area (~ 1 inch) and one isotope only over 4-inch areas up to about mass 100, and two isotopes over 4inch areas from 100 to 200 m/z.

* Gibbons has attributed the first mention of ion implantation as a tool for device fabrication to the fifth of this series at Aarhus in 1965. Prior conferences in this series relate to implantation because of the aspects of generating ion beams of many elements and directing them onto solid targets. Isotope separators with semiconductor or related targets form one basis for low voltage ion implanters.
Particle accelerators under the same conditions form one basis for high voltage implanters.
