Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of Focused Ion Beam (FIB) technique?

  • To analyze, deposit, and ablate materials at specific sites (correct)
  • To study biological fields
  • To image the sample using a focused beam of electrons
  • To resemble a scanning electron microscope (SEM)

How does a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) differ from Focused Ion Beam (FIB)?

  • SEM uses a focused beam of ions, while FIB uses a focused beam of electrons (correct)
  • SEM is primarily for ablation of materials, while FIB is for deposition of materials
  • SEM is employed for biological analysis, while FIB is used for imaging samples
  • SEM is used in the semiconductor industry, while FIB is used in materials science

Which industry or field extensively utilizes Focused Ion Beam (FIB) technique?

  • Cosmetic industry
  • Biological field
  • Semiconductor industry
  • Materials science (correct)
