Description

Surface processing technology by ionized cluster beams (ICB) having energies of a few keV is reviewed in comparison with the one of atomic and molecular ion beams. It has been demonstrated that the ICB technique can be applied to a wide variety of surface processes for industrial applications. Since ion-surface interactions of cluster ions are quite different than those of monomer ions, new opportunities for surface processing exist, such as deposition, surface cleaning, low damage sputtering and shallow implantation.
