Ion beam etching is based on the sputtering principle, using the ion beam from the ion source to directly bombard the workpiece, sputtering out some materials on the workpiece that are not covered by the mask, so as to achieve the purpose of material removal.Ion beam etching is a pure physical etching process, which has the characteristics of the highest resolution and the best steepness in various conventional etching methods.
