Part
Function
LMIS
Ion source
Suppressor
Improves the distribution of extracted ions
Extractor
High tension used for ion extraction: Typical accelerating voltage in FIB systems ranges from 1 to 30 keV
Spray aperture
First refinement
1st lens (condenser lens)
Parallelize the ion beam: probe forming
Upper octopole
Stigmator
Beam defining aperture
Defines current: A set of apertures define the probe size and provides a range of ion currents (10 pA – 30 nA)
Blanking deflector
Beam blanking: Beam blankers are used to deflect the beam away from the centre of the column
