Recent Advances in FIB Technology for Nano-prototyping and Nano-characterisation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Combined focused ion beam (FIB) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods are becoming increasingly important for nano-materials applications as we continue to develop ways to exploit the complex interplay between primary ion and electron beams and the substrate, in addition to the various subtle relationships with gaseous intermediaries.
We demonstrate some of the recent progress that has been made concerning FIB SEM processing of both conductive and insulating materials for state-of-the-art nanofabrication and prototyping and superior-quality specimen preparation for ultra-high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging and related in situ nanoanalysis techniques.
