IBE/IBSD Ionfab 300 was manufactured by Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology [1]. It was installed at Nanolab in 2011. It was originally installed with the capability of doing both IBE and IBSD. In 2022 we have decommissioned the IBSD part.


IBE: Ion Beam Etch

IBSD: Ion Beam Sputter Deposition (has been decommissioned 2022)

This Ionfab300 from Oxford Instruments is capable of of ion sputter etching/milling. The etching/milling with Argon alone is done by pure physical sputtering of the surface. This causes redeposition on the sidewalls leaving side wall angles at typically between 70-90 degrees (often closest to 70 degrees).
