What it is

The Thermo Fisher Scientific FEI OptiFIB Taipan G 2 FIB is a focused ion beam system used for semiconductor and microanalysis work.[1][6][2][3][4]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A focused ion beam system directs a tightly controlled ion beam onto a target surface to remove material, prepare cross sections, or modify small regions of a sample.

Focused ion beam tools are used for very localized material processing and inspection because the beam can address small regions without processing the entire substrate.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The machine commonly supports downstream inspection or characterization steps by preparing a region of interest for microscopy or analysis.
