ION Beam System and Machining Method

摘要

An ion beam machining system which performs a predetermined machining of a sample by irradiating the sample with an ion beam includes a beam spot former which forms a beam spot shape of the ion beam to be non-axially symmetric in a perpendicular plane with respect to an irradiation axis of the ion beam, and an axis orientator which orients one axis of the beam spot at the ion beam irradiation position on the sample in a predetermined direction.
