Nano-order processing technology with a few microns or less! Low-damage processing (high precision and high quality) is possible with ultra-low acceleration voltage!
【PR Points】 - Ultra-fine hole processing of φ1um or smaller is possible - Fine structure processing is possible ...etc 【Principle of Focused Ion Beam (FIB) Processing】 By scanning a focused ion beam, concentrated to a few tens of nanometers, across the surface of a sample, secondary electrons generated can be detected, allowing for the observation of microscopic images and processing of the sample surface. The ion source of the FIB uses gallium ions, and when this ion beam is irradiated onto the surface of the sample, secondary electrons are generated from the sample surface. Additionally, since gallium ions are much heavier than electrons, a phenomenon known as sputtering occurs, where atoms constituting the sample are ejected. These ejected atoms become secondary ions and fly away from the sample. By utilizing these phenomena, observation and processing are performed. 【Specifications】 - Maximum work size: 50(X)×50(Y)×10(Z)mm - Minimum processing size (guideline): Groove width: 100nm (up to L/D=3), Hole diameter φ200nm (up to L/D=5) - High-speed and large-area processing with high probe current - Low-damage processing with ultra-low acceleration voltage (for TEM sample preparation, etc.) *Examples and achievements of processing are currently available.

basic information
※Features - High probe current enables high-speed, large-area processing. - Secondary electron image resolution below 5nm. - Maskless processing allows selective etching of only the beam irradiation area. - Eliminates the mask fabrication process, leading to expected cost reductions. - Equipped with a 3D reconstruction analysis function to observe processing progress and conditions, addressing issues that arise during processing. ※Applications and Case Studies By increasing the amount of ion beam irradiated onto the sample, it is possible to etch the sample surface by increasing the number of sputtered atoms. This enables maskless processing that selectively etches only the areas exposed to the ion beam. By applying these technologies, it is possible to perform cross-sectional observation processing to expose and observe the cross-section of the sample, as well as to create TEM samples by extracting the sample as thin slices. Additionally, due to the very small focus diameter of the ion beam, which is on the order of tens of nanometers, it is possible to carry out sub-micron order processing such as hole processing with a diameter of less than 0.5 micrometers and slit (groove) processing with a width of less than 0.5 micrometers. We not only respond to your requests but also want to step into your concerns and solve them together. Please feel free to consult with us.
