Abstract
An ion implantation method includes generating a first scan beam, based on a first scan signal, measuring a beam current of the first scan beam by using a beam measurement device at a plurality of measurement positions, calculating a beam current matrix, based on a time waveform of the beam current measured by the beam measurement device and a time waveform of the scan command values determined in the first scan signal, calculating a first beam current density distribution of the first scan beam in a predetermined direction by performing time integration on the measured beam current, correcting a value of each component of the beam current matrix, based on the first beam current density distribution, and generating a second scan signal for realizing a target beam current density distribution in the predetermined direction, based on the corrected beam current matrix.
