摘要
Ion beams are widespread tools in microtechnology, but their applicability for nanotechnology is not straightforward. However, a light ion can transfer enough energy to the specimen to induce a chemical reaction that results in etching or deposition on a nanometer scale. The needed ion beam resolution of 1 nm can in principle be obtained with an energy filter in the ion optical system to reduce the effect of chromatic aberration. For observation an electron beam in scanning mode has to be used as ions would destroy the nanostructures during observation. With the combination of an electron and an ion beam a tool for nanotechnology should be possible with a relatively high throughput compared to e.g. STM based tools.
