A system for controlling the temperature of a semiconductor workpiece
processing tool and surrounding structure, thereby reducing the
deposition rates within an ion implanter. A faraday flag structure
comprising a conductive strike plate coupled to a circuit for monitoring
ions striking the strike plate to obtain an indication of the and a base
supporting the strike plate that includes a thermally conductive material
surrounding at least a portion of an outer perimeter of the strike plate.
The faraday flag structure base defines a conduit for routing coolant
through the thermally conductive material surrounding the strike plate.
Positioned below the faraday flag is a thermally controlled cold trap
that receives and retains foreign material appearing in ion implanter.
