Abstract
An ion implanter includes an implantation processing chamber in which an implantation process of irradiating a wafer with an ion beam is performed, a first Faraday cup disposed inside the implantation processing chamber to measure a beam current of the ion beam during a preparation process performed before the implantation process, a second Faraday cup disposed inside the implantation processing chamber to measure a beam current of the ion beam during a calibration process for calibrating a beam current measurement value of the first Faraday cup, and a blockade member for blocking the ion beam directed toward the second Faraday cup, the blockade member being configured so that the ion beam is not incident into the second Faraday cup during the implantation process and the preparation process, and the ion beam is incident into the second Faraday cup during the calibration process.
