In the second case a thicker Cr layer (250nm) is deposited. The metal-coated substrates are milled using a focused ion beam column Orsay Physics LEO FIB4400 for the case of FIB milling only -Fig. 2(a)- and a FEI Dual Beam Strata 235 for the milling of the metallic mask Fig. 2(b). This method could be direcly compared with e-beam lithography.
The redeposited materials composition is a combination of the milled material (from the sample or a support structure like a liftout grid) and ions from the ion beam. The example below (fig. 2) shows gallium contamination of solid-state lithium-ion battery (contains no gallium).

In this milling mode, we use the ion beam to cut trenches or craters into the sample, to give precise, smooth cuts for subsequent imaging analysis, either directly in the FIB instrument or after transferring to a Scanning Electron Microscope. An example of a typical milled area is shown in Figure 2. The use of an in-situ mechanical manipulator ...
Lithium niobate (LiNbO 3) is a crystalline material which is widely applied in surface acoustic wave, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and optical devices, owing to its superior physical, optical, and electronic properties.Due to its low toughness and chemical inactivity, LiNbO 3 is considered to be a hard-to-machine material and has been traditionally left as as an inert substrate …

Abstract. Focused ion beam (FIB) milling has been used for fast prototyping of lithium niobate (LiNbO 3, LN) devices with feature size from sub-to hundreds of micrometers. However, a promising and challenging depth range of tens-of-nanometers or below is rarely attended. Moreover, the surface roughness, related closely with device performances ...
The milling also results in a reduction in average primary particle size and an increase in surface area, but this, somewhat surprisingly, has little effect on capacity retention when a 4.7 V charging limit is used, suggesting that the structural changes and formation of lithium carbonate have the largest negative effects on the electrochemistry.

We report on two novel ways for patterning lithium niobate (LN) at submicronic scale by means of focused ion beam (FIB) bombardment. The first method consists of direct FIB milling on LiNbO 3 and the second one is a combination of FIB milling on a deposited metallic layer and subsequent RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) etching. FIB images show in both cases homogeneous structures with well ...
[38-40] Unlike the focused ion beam (FIB) milling progress, the sputtering yield in ToF-SIMS characterization is commonly layer by layer at the atomic scale to realize high resolution, which means the depth profile of the chemical survey is generally available at the nanoscale. To extend the depth profile to the micron scale, the FIB with ...

Control of the beam current in SEM is done by selecting different demagnification factors . The milling aspects of the FIB are so important that patterning is a standard capability of the system. For a SEM, patterning is mainly added for the sake of e-beam lithography. It has an ion beam detector.
The beam damage and oxidation/hydration resulting from the intensive use of IM and the transfer of the sample into the microscope chamber was estimated to be <50 nm. Despite the fact that the IM process generates an increase of temperature at the specimen surface, it was assumed that the milling parameters were sufficient to minimize the ...
