Ion Beam Etching (IBE) Systems

    Ion Beam Etching (IBE) and Reactive Ion Beam Etching (RIBE). 

    Ion beam technology that allows films to be etched by the use of beams of charged ions in a high vacuum system.
    The ion beam is directed at the substrate to be patterned. Tilted features can be created with the unique ability to tilt the sample altering the direction of impact of the ion beam. Ion beam etching can be used in two ways: 

    • IBE uses charged non reactive ions
    • RIBE uses reactive species to alter the film properties.

    Highlights

    • Allows beam energy and ion flux to be independently controlled
    • Process takes place in a low pressure working environment
    • Produces anisotropic etching
    • Provides means for all known materials to be etched
    • Allows angled profile control thanks to a variable etch beam angle relative to sample surface features
    • RIBE enables fast etch rates and high selectivity etching of different materials through reactive species eg. Indium Phosphide (InP)
