ABSTRACT:
Focused ion beam microfabrication column (10) produces an ion beam from ion source (12), focuses the beam by objective lens (24) onto the plane of electrode (36). ExB filter (44) separates out the ion species at a low energy portion of the beam. The beam of selected species is first accelerated by energy central lens (38) which has a controllable potential for controlling the final beam energy to the target. The beam is accelerated by final accelerator lens (54) and is demagnified and focused on the target by that lens. Beam deflector (64) deflects the beam for programmed ion beam work on the target (60).
