Description: The South Bay Ion Beam Sputtering / Etching System is a high vacuum system that can be used to deposit thin conductive metal films onto samples. This sputtering procedure will prevent charging effects and enhance contrast while imaging in an electron microscope. The instrument has three ion beam sources and multiple exchangeable targets. Two of the ion beam sources are directed at the target material to produce a thin conductive film. Ion beam etching techniques can be done by directing the third ion beam straight at the samples. The stage's rotation and tilting control allow for spatial coating up to 90 degrees. The deposition time, stage tilt, and rotation speed are adjustable. Usage of this instrument is only available through staff assisted usage, which can be requested by emailing eicnhelp@cnsi.ucla.edu.
