Ion Beam Etch (IBE) & Milling technology allows films to be etched or deposited by the use of beams of charged ions in a high vacuum system. For etching (often called 'milling'), the ion beam is directed at the substrate that is patterned, or blank in some applications, and the bombardment of the substrate is well defined and controlled. Intlvac offers a wide range of ion beam etching (milling) systems for R&D and production applications.
