3D Nanoprototyping with a DualBeam

3D Nanoprototyping with a DualBeam

14 Oct 2015

Devices and structures made on a nanoscale now have a number of real world applications, and the potential for further development and uptake is still growing. However, converting the latest ideas and designs into something real for research, testing and prototyping can pose a significant technical and financial barrier. This application note demonstrates the use of finely focused particle beams along with state-of-the-art patterning engines and precision stages integrated into FEI’s latest focused ion beam (FIB), scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and DualBeams™ (combined FIB and SEM) to rapidly design, create and inspect micro- and nano-scale functional prototype devices

NanotechnologyNanotechnology, or nanotech, is an engineering technique using molecular scale functional systems. Applications of nanotechnology include medicine and medical devices, electronics, air and water purification, food science and energy production.Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
