Focused Ion Beam Operation 

The ThermoFisher Quanta 3D FEG is a DualBeam instrument that combines a traditional Field Emission column with a FIB column to complement characterization laboratory tools and extend application range to 3D characterization and nanoanalysis, TEM sample preparation, or structural modification of sample surfaces at the nanometer scale.
This video is intended to be used for training and as a reference for future use of the FIB at AIF. It contains the steps used in preparation of a FIB TEM sample from Si. The same process can be applied to other materials with some slight changes in the parameters.
