Focused ion beam opens the door to highly sensitive probes – New EU project approved
Argovia Professor Martino Poggio of the University of Basel’s Department of Physics is to lead a recently approved project under the European Horizon 2020 program.
Argovia Professor Martino Poggio of the University of Basel’s Department of Physics is to lead a recently approved project under the European Horizon 2020 program. Working with researchers from IBM Research – Zurich, the University of Tübingen and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC) in Zaragoza, Poggio’s team aims to develop a new production method for exceptionally sensitive and precise probes for scanning probe microscopy that can also be used to examine superconducting materials. In the project, which is funded by FET Open – a scheme supporting European cooperations developing radically innovative technologies – the researchers will use focused ion beam (FIB) technology to fashion the sensors.
