The Star, because of the invaluable contribution which the heavy-ion source has already made to the successful development of semiconductor implantation. And the Star, too, because it is evident that the key characteristics of such sources, which are now used on a quite routine industrial basis—their reliability, their ease of operation and, above all, their extraordinary versatility—have still not been fully exploited. This ensures that there is still scope, at least in the short term, for further optimization, which will go some way to meet the increasingly stringent industrial doping requirements. The Cinderella, because of my belief that these heavy-ion sources have now contributed to the successful operation of ion implanters so well, and for so long, that their present level of performance is mistakenly taken for granted. The result has been a paucity of meaningful research and development. Despite this, in this article I aim to show that, like Cinderella, who was so neglected that her true merit was long overlooked, there is the prospect too of achieving the significantly larger improvements in beam quality which the semiconductor industry will eventually be seeking.
