The application of focused ion beam (FIB) technology in micro/nano machining has become increasingly popular. Its use in micro/nano machining has advantages over contemporary photolithography or other micro/nano machining technologies such as small feature resolution, the ability to process without masks and being accommodating for a variety of materials and geometries. In this research, fabrication of micro plasma electrode was carried out using FIB. The one of problems of FIB-sputtering is the redeposition of material including Ga+ ion source during sputtering process. Therefore the effect of the redeposition was verified by EDX. And the micro plasma electrode of copper was fabricated by FIB.

The residual stress in axial stress in the axial direction of the steel filaments has been measured by using a method based on the combination of the focused ion beam (FIB) and high resolution strain mapping program (VIC-2D). That is, the residual stress was calculated from the measured displacement field before and after the introduction of a slot along the steel filaments. The displacement was obtained by the digital correlation analysis of high-resolution scanning electron micrographs, while the slot was introduced by FIB milling with low energy beam. The present measurement revealed that the residual stress within 8% of the magnitude was persistent in the steel filaments fabricated.

The residual stress in axial direction of the steel wires has been measured by using a method based on the combination of the focused ion beam(FIB) milling and digital image correlation(DIC) program. The residual stress is calculated from the measured displacement field before and after the introduction of a slot along the steel wires. The displacement is obtained by the digital correlation analysis of high-resolution scanning electron micrographs, while the slot is introduced by FIB milling with low energy beam. The experimental procedures are described and the feasibilities are demonstrated in steel wires fabricated with different conditions. It reveals that the tensile residual stress is formed in all steel wires and this is strongly influenced by the fabrication conditions.

Microcircuit fabrication requires precise control of impurities in tiny regions of the silicon. These regions must be interconnected to create components and VLSI circuits. The patterns to define such regions are created by lithographic processes. In order to image features smaller than 70 nm, it is necessary to employ non-optical technology (or next generation lithography: NGL). One such NGL is extreme ultra-violet lithography (EUVL). EUVL transmits the pattern on the wafer surface after reflecting ultra-violet through mask pattern. If particles exist on the blank mask, it can't transmit the accurate pattern on the wafer and decrease the reflectivity. It is important to care the blank mask. We removed the particles on the wafer using focused ion beam (FIB). During removal, FIB beam caused damage the multi layer mask and it decreased the reflectivity. The relationship between particle removal and reflectivity is examined: i) transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation after particle removal, ii) reflectivity simulation. It is found that the image mode of FIB is more effective for particle removal than spot and bar mode.

Despite their numerous advantages, micro-LED displays based on inorganic LEDs face significant challenges in entering the market due to high transfer costs and the risk of device damage during the transfer process. Enhancing this transfer process requires precise information on micro-LED geometry and material composition, which is often difficult to obtain. This study aims to reverse-engineer the internal structure and material properties of micro-LED devices through focused ion beam milling and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. Six devices were sequentially milled using focused ion beam, allowing detailed observation and measurement of their internal structures and dimensions, while each layer's composition was estimated through energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. Our findings reveal that the micro-LEDs are composed of GaN with planar dimensions of 39 × 44 ㎛² and consist of six distinct layers, based on which a 3D model was constructed. Analysis of the solder connecting the micro-LED electrodes and circuitry showed a significant number of Kirkendall voids, along with frequent misalignment between the circuitry and devices, which likely contributed to lighting failures. Leveraging the 3D model developed in this study, future finite element analyses of potential damage during the transfer process could facilitate an improved transfer yield, advancing the viability of micro-LED displays for commercial applications.

3D nano-scale manufacturing is an important aspect of advanced manufacturing technology. A key element in ability to view, fabricate, and in some cases operate micro-devices is the availability of tightly focused particle beams, particularly of photons, electrons, and ions. The use of ions is the only way to fabricate directly micro-/ nano-scale structures. It has been utilized as a direct-write method for lithography, implantation, and milling of functional devices. The simulation of ion beam induced physical and chemical phenomena based on sound mathematical models associated with simulation methods is presented for 3D micro-/nanofabrication. The results obtained from experimental investigation and characteristics of ion beam induced direct fabrication will be discussed.

나노기술은 크게 2가지 접근방법을 가진다. 하나는 위에서 아래로(Top-Down)라는 관점으로 벌크물질로부터 이온빔 등을 이용해 이를 작게 잘라가는 방식이며, 다른 하나는 아래에서 위로(Bottom-Up) 방식으로 재질을 구성하는 분자를 재구성해 원하는 물성 및 특성을 가지도록 만드는 방법이다. 이 두 가지 접근 방법은 원하는 결과를 얻기 위해 상호 보완적으로 사용되기도 한다. Top-Down방식의 대표적인 기기로는 접속이온빔 장치(FIB, Focused Ion Beam)를 등 수 있으며, Bottom-Up방식의 대표적인 기기로는 SPM(Scanning Probe Microscope)을 들 수 있다.(중략)
