What Does GCIB Stand For?

GCIB stands for Gas Cluster Ion Beam

GCIB, or Gas Cluster Ion Beam, refers to a technology used in materials processing and surface modification. It involves the formation of clusters of gas molecules, which are ionized and accelerated to create a beam. This beam can deliver energy to a target surface with high precision, enabling the removal of material at the atomic level. GCIB technology is widely utilized in applications such as semiconductor manufacturing, nanofabrication, and the enhancement of surface properties in various materials, offering advantages in precision, uniformity, and control over the modification process.
