Nanopatterning Benchmark: ELPHY MultiBeam

Raith’s ELPHY MultiBeam establishes a new commercial standard for SEM and FIB-SEM nanolithography solutions. It combines the latest technology for 3D ion beam based nanofabrication and other 3D nanofabrication techniques with the excellent EBL performance, and helps to unlock the total nanofabrication potential of a SEM, FIB-SEM or HIM system.

The ELPHY MultiBeam includes comprehensive multiple method nanopatterning functionality in a single tool for Electron Beam Lithography (EBL), Focused Ion Beam Nanofabrication, Etching and Deposition, Helium Ion Beam Patterning and Gas assisted Focused Electron Beam Induced Processing (FEBIP).
