Dual ion mill, argon.
GATAN 600 is a state-of-the-art ion milling equipment for producing exact, high-precision thin-film specimens for microscopic analysis. Ideal for applications ranging from materials science to microelectronics, it allows for the study of thin layers of solid materials without causing mechanical or chemical damage that could be caused by other preparation methods. Ion milling involves bombarding a surface with a beam of ions in order to slowly remove the material in layers down to the desired thickness. 600 utilizes an ion beam of argon, a noble gas, to strip off certain atomic layers, down to a few angstroms thick. The process is highly accurate and produces smooth, uniform surfaces. The system is comprised of two main components: the preparation chamber and the control console. The control console contains an integrated control unit, as well as software for setting parameters and controlling the ion beam. It also allows the user to monitor the process. The preparation chamber consists of a vacuum-tight stainless steel with UHV compatible components and internal magnets to confine the ion beam. In addition to the primary hardware components, the machine also includes a range of accessories for milling samples. The various holders, masks, and stages allow for precise alignment and targeted milling of samples. These accessories are also used for edging and preparing the surface for subsequent analysis. GATAN 600 has a number of additional features that make it well suited for milling different types of samples. For example, it has an adjustable ion beam current, which allows you to control the thickness of the layers etched. It also can be equipped with a diamond-wire saw, which can be used to section large samples. 600 is ideal for the precision milling of a variety of materials, including metals, semiconductors, and oxides. Overall, its capabilities make it perfect for ultra-thin-film research and analysis applications. The tool is compact and reliable, making it a go-to choice for laboratories and research institutions.
