An ion implantation device for vaporizing decaborane and other
heat-sensitive materials via a novel vaporizer and vapor delivery system
and delivering a controlled, low-pressure drop flow of vapors, e.g.
decaborane, into the ion source. The ion implantation device includes an
ion source which can operate without an arc plasma, which can improve the
emittance properties and the purity of the beam and without a strong
applied magnetic field, which can improve the emittance properties of the
beam. The ion source is configured so that it can be retrofit into the
ion source design space of an existing Bernas source-based ion implanters
and the like or otherwise enabling compatibility with other ion source
designs.
