As a world-class leader in ion technology, Ion Beam Services (IBS) provides a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to meet the rigorous demands of the semiconductor, medical, and industrial sectors. Our “Total Solution” approach ensures that your processes are optimized for peak performance and reliability.
Our state-of-the-art foundry services provide high-precision ion implantation for research, development, and high-volume production. We specialize in modifying the electrical, optical, and physical properties of materials at the atomic level.
High-Performance Ion Implantation for R&D and Production
IBS operates one of the most versatile ion implantation foundries in Europe. We support a wide range of applications, from standard CMOS doping to specialized treatments for wide-bandgap semiconductors like Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN).
Comprehensive Substrate & Ion Species Capabilities
Comprehensive Substrate & Ion Species Capabilities
We offer unparalleled flexibility in terms of substrate handling and chemical variety, ensuring that even the most complex material requirements are met with precision.
· Substrate Range: Full capability for wafers from 2-inch (50mm) to 12-inch (300mm).
· Material Types: Silicon, Glass, Polymers, Ceramics, and Compound Semiconductors (III-V, II-VI).
· Non-Standard Substrates: Expertise in handling fragile, thin, or oddly shaped substrates.
With a library of over 65 different ion species, we can perform:
