    Abstract: An ion beam exposure device including an ion beam source and an ion beam mask is provided. The ion beam source is formed from a thin film which is disposed between a vacuum side and a gas side. The film is in the form of a plate having a fine wire buried therein or a crystal boundary formed therein. An electric field supplied to the plate ionizing the gas passing from the gas source side of the plate to the vacuum side. A patterned ion mask may be formed directly on the ion beam source, thereby creating an ion beam gun which emits an ion beam in the desired pattern.

    Abstract: A plasma is formed from one or more gases in a plasma chamber using at least a first power and a second power. A first ion species is generated at said first power and a second ion species is generated at said second power. In one embodiment, the first ion species and second ion species are implanted into a workpiece at two different energies using at least a first bias voltage and a second bias voltage. This may enable implantation to two different depths. These ion species may be atomic ions or molecular ions. The molecular ions may be larger than the gases used to form the plasma.

    Abstract: A focused ion beam (FIB) system is disclosed, comprising an inductively coupled plasma ion source, an insulating plasma chamber containing the plasma, a conducting source biasing electrode in contact with the plasma and biased to a high voltage to control the ion beam energy at a sample, and a plurality of apertures. The plasma within the plasma chamber serves as a virtual source for an ion column comprising one or more lenses which form a focused ion beam on the surface of a sample to be imaged and/or FIB-processed. The plasma is initiated by a plasma igniter mounted near or at the column which induces a high voltage oscillatory pulse on the source biasing electrode. By mounting the plasma igniter near the column, capacitive effects of the cable connecting the source biasing electrode to the biasing power supply are minimized. Ion beam sputtering of the apertures is minimized by proper aperture materials selection.
