Used FEI / MICRION 9100 #293645928 for sale

FEI / MICRION 9100 is an advanced ion milling equipment designed for precision machining of samples in materials science research. It provides high-resolution milling of a variety of materials from polymers to polysilicon and can also process dielectrics such as alumina, sapphire, and quartz. The ion milling system is available with three different gas sources - Argon, Xenon, and Krypton - for variable erosion rates and deeper milling capabilities. FEI 9100 consists of a main base unit that houses the ion source, ion gun, beam focus, and control electronics. It runs on a 4 kW radio frequency power supply which supplies RF energy to the ion gun, allowing it to accelerate ions to a high energy level. The ion beam is then focused and directed toward the sample surface at an oblique angle. This oblique angle method helps minimize surface damage. MICRION 9100 allows a range of milling parameters to be set including voltage, current, gas pressure, and beam pressure. The unit is also equipped with active aiming and magnet systems, advanced image recognition capabilities, and multiple imaging modes including SEM, FIB, and STM. This enables the machine to precisely target and mill the desired regions. 9100 can also be used for precision nanopatterning of substrates. It has a high-resolution nanopattern generator which allows for the fabrication of lines and other shapes with dimensions down to 50 nm. The tool can also be directly connected to a CAD asset for precision CAD-controlled patterning. FEI / MICRION 9100 is an ideal choice for materials science research. It provides precise milling and nanopatterning capabilities, making it capable of performing complex and challenging tasks. Its advanced control model allows for precise control over milling parameters, helping to eliminate process-induced damage. It is a versatile equipment that can be used to produce features with high precision and accuracy.
