Used COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC / VEECO IBDS #141891 for sale

COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC / VEECO IBDS is an ion milling equipment specifically designed to ablate and planarize surfaces at the nanometer level. This system uses a focused ion beam (FIB) to sputter atoms and molecules from the sample surface in order to achieve gentle planarization and removal of surface topography. Ion milling is a process whereby a beam of accelerated ions, such as Gallium ions or Xenon ions, is used to etch and surface-modify materials. This process is often used to produce extremely smooth, flat surfaces that are completely free of contamination or other imperfections. By controlling the acceleration and energy of the beam, materials can be processed to a very high degree of precision with nanometer-level control. VEECO IBDS unit utilizes a gun-type FIB column with apertures as small as 5 nanometers in diameter. This allows for extremely precise surface ablation of samples up to 12.7 mm in size. The FIB also incorporates an image capture machine, allowing for the visualization of ablated surfaces under high magnification. The tool also features a shielded work chamber and low-vacuum operation for the reduction of sample damage and improved performance. This provides excellent protection against contamination and particle erosion. Further, the asset is equipped with advanced process controls for the automation of milling and other processes, as well as a digital based user interface for easy programming and operation. COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC IBDS model is an ideal tool for performing various types of ion milling on substrates and small samples of various materials. It is capable of producing extremely smooth and flat surfaces with nanometer precision and is highly resistant to contamination and particle erosion. Furthermore, its robust digital user interface, sophisticated process controls, and shielded working chamber ensure consistently superior results and improved process efficiency.
