Abstract

See full text

A conductive screen is placed between a corona gun and the surface of a semiconductor wafer. The charge deposited on the wafer by the gun is controlled by a potential applied to the screen. A chuck orients the wafer in close proximity to the screen. A desired charge is applied to the wafer by first applying a surplus of one charge to the wafer and then depositing an opposite polarity charge until the potential of the wafer equals the potential of the screen.
