IBC Facilities

 
The Surrey IBC offers a wide range of implantation and ion beam analysis facilities to the UK academic and industrial communities.  If you want to find out more about these techniques and how they can be used please click here.
Implantation facilities include:
    o    2MV High Energy Implanter
    o    200kV High Current implanter
    o    Implantation 2 keV to 4 MeV
    o    Sample sizes mm2 to 40cm x 40cmperiodic table
    o    Hot (1000°C) or cold (~LN) implants
    o    In situ measurements can be made
    o    Sample Chambers in clean room (class 100)
    o    Up to 10mA beam currents available


Applications of implantation include:
    o    Dopant Implantation & Activation
    o    Materials Modification
    o    Synthesis e.g.: SIMOX, Silicides, Nitrides, MgB 2 GaN
    o    Defect Engineering
    o    Light emission from Si
    o    Carrier removal in III-V's
    o    Laser & waveguide fabrication

Ion Beam Analysis facilities include:
  • 2MV Tandem Accelerator (3MeV p, 6MeV He)
  • Range of techniques for rapid elemental depth profile analysis include: RBS, EBS, ERD, PIXE, NRA
  • Sub micron microbeam, with full scanning capability
