ion-beam system
1Ion-beam sculpting — Ion Beam scultping is a term used to describe a two step process to make solid state nanopores. The term itself was coined by Golovchenko and co workers at Harvard in the paper Ion beam sculpting at nanometer length scales [J. Li, D. Stein, C.… …
2Ion beam deposition — (IBD) is a process of applying materials to a target through the application of an ion beam.In an ion source source materials gases or evaporated solids are ionized using electron ionization or by application of high electric fields (Penning ion… …
3Ion beam assisted deposition — or IBAD or IAD (not to be confused with ion beam induced deposition, IBID) is a materials engineering technique which combines ion implantation with simultaneous sputtering or another physical vapor deposition technique. Besides providing… …
4Ion beam — An ion beam is a type of particle beam consisting of ions. Ion beams have many uses in electronics manufacturing (principally ion implantation) and other industries. Today s ion beam sources are typically derived from the mercury vapor thrusters… …
5Focused ion beam — Focused ion beam, also known as FIB, is a technique used particularly in the semiconductor and materials science fields for site specific analysis, deposition, and ablation of materials. The FIB is a scientific instrument that resembles a… …
6Radioactive Ion Beam Optimization — RIBO stands for the Radioactive Ion Beam Optimization, a concept closely linked to the extraction of rare isotopes from targets.OverviewIndeed, rare and radioactive here are synonyms. These are nuclei with an excess or deficit of neutrons or… …
7Ion implantation — is a materials engineering process by which ions of a material can be implanted into another solid, thereby changing the physical properties of the solid. Ion implantation is used in semiconductor device fabrication and in metal finishing, as… …
8Ion thruster — An ion thruster is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion that creates thrust by accelerating ions. Ion thrusters are characterized by how they accelerate the ions, using either electrostatic or electromagnetic force.… …
9Ion cannon — In science fiction an ion cannon is a beam weapon that fires beams of ions (particles, i.e. atoms that have been affected in some way as to cause them to gain an electrical charge). Due to its power it is usually classified as a superweapon. An… …
10Low-energy ion scattering — LEIS redirects here; for the Hawaiian garland see Lei (Hawaii). Low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEIS), sometimes referred to simply as ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS), is a surface sensitive analytical technique used to characterize the …
