The Ion Beam Milling ion-etching process is vacuum based and is dependent on precise identification of interlayer breakthrough through multiple stacked thin-film layers each of perhaps only a few ...

In this paper, the use of an oxygen primary ion source for positive and negative secondary ion detection is being investigated on an in-line SIMS tool. We evaluate sensitivity levels of detecting ...

These were originally gallium FIBs, moving to plasma FIBs more recently. The most recent tool is the broad argon beam, also called the broad ion beam, because it is possible to use ions other than ...

Heavy-ion collisions involve the collision of positively charged nuclei of heavy elements at nearly the speed of light. These ...

Meyer presented results from FLUKA Monte Carlo simulations comparing proton, helium-ion and carbon-ion CT for proton therapy planning. He described the simulation of ion-CT images at 2 mGy physical ...

The largest particle accelerator at UAlbany’s Ion Beam Lab is undergoing maintenance this week. The general public is allowed to see the inner workings of what is a very powerful scientific tool.

Nano-dunes with the ion beam New method for self-organized nanostructures studied Date: September 8, 2015 Source: Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf Summary: Many semiconductor devices in modern ...

Ion beam lithography is used to create fine nanostructures on a surface, such as circuit boards. It can be used to directly write on the material, rather than using a photomask, as in ...
