C60 Ion Beam System

IOG C60-10
       

 

The IOG C60-10 was developed by Ionoptika in co-operation with Ulvac Phi Corporation as a tool for sputter cleaning and depth profiling of samples for XPS and Auger.

The use of a C60 (fullerene) ion beam results in rapid etching with very low damage to the underlying sample.

The IOG C60-10 represents a major advance for surface analysis.

 


The IOG C60-10 is a fully computer controlled system.

It comprises:
C60 ion source and column (including focussing, scan plates, mass filter, alignment and gate valve)
Control & HV electronics (19inch x 3U box)
Cable set
Software control package IG-SOFT 300 (Windows XP)

Performance


Beam Energy: 1keV to 10keV
Maximum Current: 40nA (C60+ mass filtered)
Minimum spot size: <1mm
Computer Interface: RS232


Application

 

  • Sputter Cleaning of polymer surfaces for XPS.
  • Depth profiling of polymers for XPS.
  • Sputter Cleaning of polymer surfaces for Auger.
  • Depth profiling of polymers for SIMS.
  • Depth profiling/imaging of biological materials.
