QuiiN

Precise multi - ion Implantation for discovering full spectrum of New Materials Possibilities

ORSAY PHYSICS QuiiN (Quantum Ion Implanter at Nanoscale) is a versatile ion beam system designed for implantation applications. This last generation of platforms is crucial for the next phase of quantum computing revolution, which requires precisely placed ions within material structures.

QuiiN combines an electrostatic SEM for region localization and one of our two new FIB columns designed for implantation. The Veloce column allows the implantation of specific isotopes of gold, germanium, or silicon using a Wien filter. The iVeloce column, also equipped with a Wien filter, enables the use of various gases such as nitrogen, argon, oxygen, helium, xenon, or gas mixtures like CO2. Both columns feature a new beam current meter for precise dose implantation.

Additionally, QuiiN includes an in-situ heating stage, FurnaSEM 1000, which quickly heats the sample to over 950°C and maintains this temperature, enabling in-situ annealing during irradiation. The in-chamber SE detector is optimized for high-quality imaging, allowing observation of sensitive samples without damage, even at low current.

Powered by ORSAY PHYSICS Pegasus, a modular and customizable graphical user interface, QuiiN enables users to design their own implantation experiments. Pegasus offers unique milling strategies based on points, reducing beam impact and improving milling or deposition effectiveness. All control parameters are integrated into the API, allowing users to script or integrate any part of the machine.

UHV FIB-SEM NanoSpace

For ultimate performances
at Ultra-High Vacuum

NanoSpace is a conveniently versatile system specially designed to operate under Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) conditions. NanoSpace can be configured either as a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) or as a dual beam platform combining a SEM and a high performance Focused Ion Beam (FIB). This UHV instrument is developed with a modular architecture allowing a large choice of SEM and FIB columns that matches end-users specific needs and goals. NanoSpace offers the best, complete and customized solution for FIB nanomachining, surface analysis, on samples demanding the most rigorous contamination-free environment.

NanoSpace can also be equipped with a UHV compatible Gas Injection System (GIS) for local metal deposition and selective etching.

In-situ connection to third party systems such as MBE clusters, surface analysis instrument, is also possible through a UHV intermediate chamber. This connectivity broadens NanoSpace application scope.
