A Focused Ion Beam (FIB) makes use of Ga-ions to remove material with a very high spatial precision. In this way cross-sections can be made on a specific location. ... When both Ga-ions and certain gases are applied, it is also possible to deposit material. Therefore, the FIB can be used as a multifunctional tool in a broad range of applications. 2, record 1, English, - focussed%20ion%20beam

Le projet NANOFIB met au point une technique de faisceau ionique focalisé. Le diamètre du faisceau est de l'ordre de quelques nanomètres seulement, soit quelques dizaines de diamètres atomiques. [...] Ce procédé de «nanomanipulation», d'une importance cruciale pour l'avenir de la nanofabrication, a pour but de structurer les matériaux à des échelles extrêmement petites. 1, record 1, French, - faisceau%20ionique%20focalis%C3%A9
