Alkemade, P.F.A. (author), Miro, H. (author), Van Veldhoven, E. (author), Maas, D.J. (author), Smith, D.A. (author), Rack, P.D. (author)The sub-nanometer beam of a helium ion microscope was used to study and optimize helium-ion beam induced deposition of PtC nanopillars with the (CH3)3Pt(CPCH3) precursor. The beam current, beam dwell time, precursor refresh time, and beam focus have been independently varied. Continuous beam exposure resulted in narrow but short pillars, while...journal article 2011

Chen, P. (author), Van Veldhoven, E. (author), Sanford, C.A. (author), Salemink, H.W.M. (author), Maas, D.J. (author), Smith, D.A. (author), Rack, P.D. (author), Alkemade, P.F.A. (author)A 25 keV focused helium ion beam has been used to grow PtC nanopillars on a silicon substrate by beam-induced decomposition of a (CH3)3Pt(CPCH3) precursor gas. The ion beam diameter was about 1 nm. The observed relatively high growth rates suggest that electronic excitation is the dominant mechanism in helium ion-beam-induced deposition. Pillars...journal article 2010
