The potential utility of FIB for routine (and novel) applications has come to forefront recently due to advances in ion optics which now allow formation of focused ion probe of better than ∼10-20 nm containing current density exceeding several A/cm2, with a liquid metal source (typically Gallium). The small ion probe size, coupled with shallow sputtering depth - yet high sputtering yield of ions, has opened several opportunities in machining, lithography and ion-assisted deposition[ 1-3] These developments, including automation, multi-specimen stages, cross-compatible specimen holders for FIB/

Abstract:
The application of focused ion beam (FIB) techniques in the life sciences has progressed by leaps and bounds over the past decade. A once dedicated ion beam instrument, the focused ion beam today is generally coupled with a plethora of complementary tools such as dual-beam scanning electron microscopy (SEM), environmental SEM, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), or cryogenic possibilities. All of these additions have contributed to the advancement of focused ion beam use in the study of biomaterials and biological matter. Biomaterials, cells, and their interfaces can be routinely image

Abstract:
Reduced feature dimensions in microelectronic devices has led to a growing reliance on the focused ion beam (FIB) for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) specimen preparation. The introduction of copper for use in electrical interconnects will increase this reliance. Copper, much more so than aluminum, tends to smear when conventional polishing techniques are employed, rendering mechanical polishing unsuitable for quality specimen preparation.The sputtering characteristics of copper differ greatly from the aluminum based materials currently in use.

Abstract:
In a focused ion beam (FIB) instrument, ions (typically Ga+) obtained from a liquid metal ion source are accelerated down a column at energies up to ∽ 50 keV. The beam of ions is focused by electrostatic and octopole lens systems and the ion dose (and beam diameter) is controlled using real and/or virtual apertures. Beam sizes in FIB instruments on the order of 5-7 nm may be achieved.The versatility of the FIB instrument enables large regions of material (e.g., 500 μm3) to be removed at high beam currents in just a couple of minutes. Lower beam currents (i.e., beam diameters) are usually used

The use of focused ion beam (FIB) systems is well established as a sample preparation and imaging tool in a wide range of applications, most notably, in the semiconductor and data storage industries, but also within material and biological sciences (Figs. 1-3).

In addition, the FIB can be used to prepare samples through multiple layers with different material properties, and allows the rest

Abstract:
Abstract Focused ion beam (FIB) is a popular tool for physical failure analysis (FA), especially for circuit repair. FIB is especially useful on advanced technology where the FIB is used to modify the circuit for new layout verification or electrical measurement. The samples are prepared till inter-metal dielectric (IMD), then a hole is dug or a metal is deposited or oxide is deposited by FIB. A common assumption is made that metal under oxide can not be seen by FIB. But a metal ion image is desired for further action. Dual beam, FIB and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), tools have a special

Abstract:
Abstract The modern scanning transmission electron microscope (S/TEM) has become a key technology and is heavily utilized in advanced failure analysis (FA) labs. It is well equipped to analyze semiconductor device failures, even for the latest process technology nodes (20nm or less). However, the typical sample preparation process flow utilizes a dual beam focused ion beam (FIB) microscope for sample preparation, with the final sample end-pointing monitored using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) column. At the latest technology nodes, defect sizes can be on the order of the resolution li

Abstract:
Abstract Widespread adoption and significant developments in Focused Ion Beam technology has made FIB/SEM instrumentation a commonplace sample preparation tool. Fundamental limitations inherent to Ga ion species complicate usage of Ga+ FIB instruments for the modification of semiconductor devices on advanced technology nodes. Said limitations are fueling interest in exploring alternative primary species and ion beam technologies for circuit edit applications. Exploratory tests of etching typical semiconductor materials with Xe ion beams generated from two plasma ion sources confirmed advantage

Abstract:
Abstract The presence of a full wafer dual-beam FIB on the process floor gave rise to an environment in which formerly segregated off-line lab and FAB tasks could be linked. One such idea involved a methodology for semi-automated defect targeting based on the spatial predictions of static random access memory (SRAM) electrical testing. The embedded memory blocks on some processors are fully configured and probe pad testable as early as the forth metal level. Using a unique navigation technique that combines electrically sorted SRAM bit map data with CAD coordinate information and stage driven
