Event Description

Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopy is a unique interactive tool for the in-situ, site-specific nanomachining and microstructural analysis of nanostructures. There is dramatic growth in FIB activity in areas such as direct device processing, 3D micromachining for MEMS, nanopatterning, biological and nanomaterials analysis.

This one-day meeting is aimed at both current and future FIB users, covering the latest exciting FIB developments in the areas of nanoprocessing and nanoanalysis techniques, and state-of-the-art FIB instrumental development. Important topics will be highlighted in keynote presentations,

Abstracts for short oral and poster contributions (200 words in length) were invited in the FIB technology areas of:

Semiconductor devices and failure analysis
Novel 3D micromachining applications and tool manufacture
Nanopatterning
Biological applications of FIB
Specimen preparation methods for nanoanalysis
Instrumentation development

Abstract submission closed 18th March 2005
NanoFIB 2005 follows on from Microscopy of Semiconducting
Materials MSM XIV 11-14 April 2005

NanoFIB network bursaries will be available for attendance at this meeting
