摘要: Abstract In this work we detail the design and implementation of a very high-resolution FIB nanofabrication instrument able to deliver 10 nm ion probe (ions Ga + , 30 keV). Some experimental results are presented, showing that resolution can be obtained. Nanolithography on an inorganic resist AlF3 nanoetching thin SiC membranes achieved at length scale. We try demonstrate capabilities improved by increasing extraction voltage LMIS thus leading significant increase axial angular intensity, allowing produce nanoetched structures with ultimate 8 nm, excellent reproducibility homogeneity. The authors also present limit they have encountered when operating under extremely high (17.5 kV) for low emission currents. Finally, performances compared those existing others methods.
