Summary
Nanofabrication with focused charged particle beams (SEM, FIB) and their applications such as lithography, gas assisted deposition / etching, and milling are discussed and the limitations of these processes are developed based on the acquired understanding of the interactions.
Content
- Introduction to Scanning Electron / Ion Microscopes: SEM, Ga-FIB, He-FIB, AuSi-FIB
- Electron / Ion interaction with solids: concepts and simulations
- Analysis with focused electron and ion beams: EDX, EBIC, EBSD, tomography
- Nanofabrication with FIB and FEB: milling, deposition, etching, lithography
- Novel Add-Ons for Nanomanipulation and Nanoanalysis inside electron microscopes: 4-point electrical measurements, positioning systems for nanostructures, magnetic bead detection, mechanical measurements: tensile, bending, and compressive loading of nanostructures, 3D topography with in-situ atomic force microscopy, chemical depth profiling by combined FIB-mass spectroscopy. Live demonstrations: Add-ons, SEM, Dual Beam.
