It is an ideal tool to generate mask with feature dimensions of 400nm or as small as 20nm using this technology. Also controlling the wall profile is another added advantage of using this technique. We at Norsam Technology do provideion implantation and FIB services and if you can send me more details we can help you out on this project. Please visit our website for more details http://www.norsam.com. Thanks Jayant ************************************* Jayant Neogi Vice President & CTO Norsam Technologies Inc.
