ion beam
An ion beam is a focused stream of charged particles (ions) that are accelerated using electric and magnetic fields. These high-energy ions are directed precisely at materials or surfaces to modify, analyze, or etch them. Ion beams are used in various applications such as semiconductor manufacturing, surface treatment, and scientific research. By controlling the energy and direction of the ions, technicians can achieve highly accurate and clean modifications at a microscopic level, making ion beams a powerful tool for precision work in advanced technology and industry.
