Abstrakt: The University of Florida (UF) have collaborated with Raith to develop a version of the Raith ionLiNE IBL system that has the capability to deliver multi-ion species in addition to the Ga ions normally available. The UF system is currently equipped with a AuSi liquid metal alloy ion source (LMAIS) and ExB filter making it capable of delivering Au and Si ions and ion clusters for ion beam processing. Other LMAIS systems could be developed in the future to deliver other ion species. This system is capable of high performance ion beam lithography, sputter profiling, maskless ion implantation, ion beam mixing, and spatial and temporal ion beam assisted writing and processing over large areas (100 mm2)-all with selected ion species at voltages from 15-40 kV and nanometer precision. We discuss the performance of the system with the AuSi LMAIS source and ExB mass separator. We report on initial results from the basic system characterization, ion beam lithography, as well as for basic ion-solid interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
