Pioneering Ion Beam Technology since 1987

From cutting-edge ion implantation to proprietary equipment, IBS provides high-precision doping solutions for the global industry.

Life at IBS

Welcome to Ion Beam Services

A word from our president

Olivier Vatel, Chief Executive Officer

Joining IBS means joining a family of physicists and engineers who have spent nearly four decades mastering a technology invisible to the naked eye, yet essential to almost every advanced electronic device in the world.

Throughout my career, across leading semiconductor equipment companies and research institutions on three continents, I have seen many organizations chase innovation. What sets IBS apart is that innovation here has always been inseparable from precision, and precision from people. Our engineers do not simply operate ion implanters — they understand them, atom by atom.

Today, as the semiconductor industry accelerates toward Silicon Carbide, Gallium Nitride, and AI-driven applications, IBS stands ready — not because we predicted the future, but because we built the expertise to meet it, implant after implant, since 1987.

I am proud to lead a team where curiosity is a habit, rigor is a reflex, and every colleague — from our historical site in Peynier to our teams in Scotland, Singapore and Texas — shares the same commitment to getting it right, at the atomic level.

Our core values

Collective Expertise

Ion implantation is a science of detail. We believe the best results come from engineers and technicians who share knowledge freely, across teams and across continents.

Integrity

We say what we do and do what we say — with our colleagues, our clients, and our partners, at every one of our sites worldwide.

Craftsmanship

Every implanter that leaves our workshops carries the mark of hands-on know-how built over more than 35 years. We take pride in work done right, not work done fast.

Growth

Physics never stops evolving, and neither do we. IBS invests in the continuous development of its people, from apprentice technicians to senior physicists.

Care

We look after one another, our workplace, and the environment in which we operate — because a sustainable company starts with the people inside it.

Our commitments

Developing Our People We provide ongoing technical training and career development, enabling employees to grow from operational roles into deep domain expertise — just as many of our current engineers have done.

Health & Safety First Working with advanced implantation equipment demands rigorous safety standards. We maintain strict protocols across all our sites, backed by our ISO 9001-certified quality culture.

An International, Open Community With teams in France, the UK, Singapore and the USA, IBS fosters mobility and cross-cultural collaboration as a natural part of everyday work.

Responsible Growth By extending equipment life cycles through retrofits and upgrades, and by supporting the development of energy-efficient technologies (solar, batteries, power components), we act as a responsible player in the semiconductor ecosystem.

GUARANTEE & QUALITY

IBS obtained ISO 9001 certification in July 2006 for ion implantation subcontracting and manufacture of electronic components, which has been extended to maintenance of ion implanter sub-assemblies in 2015.

As per today, IBS is fully certified ISO 9001-2015 on all its activities and business units. Beyond this certification stands the IBS team’s entire company culture, founded on quality.

Since the results of ion implantation cannot be verified without destructive testing, our upstream quality assurance program is indispensable to guarantee each operation.

For thirty years IBS has established all of the safeguards necessary to ensure the conditions for success: regular inspection of the hardware systems, tests on its own products to gather quality statistics and the best training for its teams.

This proactive approach reflects IBS’s commitment and makes the company a trusted ally for its clients.
