The focussed ion beam (FIB) is a multi nanofabrication tool system capable of performing sophisticated nanomachining, in-situ metal or insulator deposition, lithography and metrology analysis. This versatile system is based on the dual ion and electron beams column concept, which allows it to perform ionic nanofabrication function while imaging using the scanning electron microscope. The liquid metal ion source (LMIS) for the system is gallium and it is integrated to an ionisation tungsten tip to produce a fine and high resolution ion beam. The additional features in the FIB are ion and electron beam induced deposition using gaseous metal-insulator sources.
