35 Ion Detection 150 pa In-Lens FIB SE Image 150 pa Elion FIB SI Image Sample: Nickel based superalloy exhibiting intergranular corrosion secondary ion yields for most metals increase by ~ 10X to 1000X (typically ~ 50X) in the presence of electronegative species such as oxygen in particular. This makes secondary ion imaging very sensitive to the presence of corrosion, especially at grain boundaries, and makes detection of this corrosion very fast. This oxygen enhanced yield dominates other contrast mechanisms in ion imaging of metals Page 38

47 The LMIS (Liquid Metal Ion Source) W Tip Taylor cone Extractor Ion Beam The LMIS usually consists of a blunt W field emitter with an end radius of about 10µm, which is coated with a metal having a high surface tension and a low vapour pressure at its melting point. The field emitter is heated to the melting point of the metal while a high positive voltage (3-10kV) is placed on it relative to the extraction electrode. The liquid metal is drawn into a conical shape by the balance between the electrostatic and surface tension forces. The apex of the liquid metal is drawn to an end radius of a few nm. Page 50

48 The LMIS (Liquid Metal Ion Source) SEM Micrograph of the liquid metal ion source (LMIS) showing a W needle and a spiral reservoir spot welded to a heating loop. The reservoir is about 3mm long and contains enough liquid Ga to last for about 1500h of operation at a total emission current of 1µA. Page 51
