Ion-beam sculpting is a precision fabrication technique that utilizes focused ion beams to modify the surface of materials at the microscale or nanoscale. This method involves directing a beam of ions—such as gallium ions—toward a target material. By controlling the energy and direction of the ion beam, specific areas of the material can be etched, deposited, or otherwise sculpted to create intricate patterns or features.
