摘要
A combined electron- and ion-beam system employing a double-chamber plasma source and a single accelerator column has been developed to provide focused electron and positive-ion beams simultaneously, with no need for a separate electron source or accelerating column for sample neutralization. The self-aligned ion and electron beams can be used to micromachine and image a variety of materials, both conducting and insulating. Together with an ion-beam imprinting scheme, the combined electron/ion beam system is compact and provides low-cost, high-throughput, and large-area micromachining.
