Used ION TECH / VEECO Sourcerer #9156278 for sale

ION TECH / VEECO Sourcerer is an ion milling system used in the nanofabrication of semiconductors, metals, and alloys. This cutting-edge tool provides precise, high-quality etching for a variety of materials and devices. VEECO Sourcerer's main feature is its ability to use a focused ion beam (FIB) to create fine-scale, nanoscale structures and features with exacting precision. The system consists of a vacuum chamber that houses the ion source, a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the specimen stage. A sample is placed on the specimen stage, which can be manipulated three-dimensionally, allowing the FIB to strike the sample from the exact angle desired. The ion beam can etch the sample at very precise locations and depths. The job is monitored in real-time with the SEM and the results can be adjusted as needed. ION TECH Sourcerer's FIB source is operated at high energy and can deliver ions/atoms of different materials such as Xenon, Argon, or Oxygen. The ions are usually accelerated through a grid and electrostatic lenses, before striking the sample with a voltage of up to 40 kilovolts. Sourcerer also provides a variable FIB beam current up to 100nA, which can be adjusted according to the etching regions. During the etching process, the vacuum pressure and the target substrate temperature can be manipulated as well. This allows for greater control over the etch characteristics. The degree of etching, the depth of etching and the erosion rate can be precisely controlled. Additionally, the system can be customized with different types of detectors, beam rasters, and electron precipitator ions. This ensures uniform etching across the entire sample, enabling fine feature resolution. Finally, ION TECH / VEECO Sourcerer is built with a user-friendly interface, making it easy to operate, enabling better quality and efficiency. VEECO Sourcerer offers a comprehensive portfolio of features and technology, making it the perfect tool for nanoscale semiconductor manufacturing, metal etching, and nanofabrication. This versatile unit can create intricate, high-quality features and components with extreme precision and speed, making it a reliable and effective tool in the semiconductor industry.
