ABSTRACTFocused ion beam (FIB) techniques have many advantages which stem from being maskless and have attracted much interest for various applications includingin situprocessing. However, reduction of damage and improvement of throughput are problems awaiting solution. For reduction of damage, low energy FIB is promising and for improvement of throughput, understanding of the basic processes and optimization of process parameters based on this understanding is crucial. This paper discusses characteristics of low energy FIB system, ion beam assisted etching and ion implantation, and effect of damage with putting emphasize onin situfabrication. Low energy (0.05–25keV) FIB system being developed forms -lOOnm diameter ion beams and is connected with molecular beam epitaxy system. Many results indicate that low damage, maskless ion beam assisted etching is feasible using low energy beams. Recently it was also shown that for ion beam assisted etching of GaAs, pulse irradiation yields very high etching rate of 500/ion. This indicates that the optimization of the relative ratio of ion irradiation and reactant gas supply as important to achieve high etching rate. Low energy FIB is also important for selective doping for high electron mobility heterostructures of GaAs/GaAlAs, because high mobility is significantly degraded by a slight damage.

Abstract The Dual Focused Ion Beam (DFIB has been used to expose electrical fields associated with the charge of electrically active extended defects (ED) – (e.g. threading dislocations - TDs) in GaN structures. The localized electrical fields above electrically active defects in piezoelectric materials are shown to capture sputtered low energy ions, turning them back toward the surface and redepositing them on top of defects (TDs), forming Gallium-rich islands. This “Ga droplet” decorates EDs and significantly simplifies the process of locating EDs for TEM sample preparation and analyses. The size and shape of the Ga islands is correlated with the accumulated piezoelectric charge density at the EDs.
