This Ionfab300 from Oxford Instruments is capable of of both ion sputter etching/milling and sputter deposition.
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).
