Abstract

The Zeiss 'Orion' helium ion microscope has improved resolution and sample interaction mechanisms as compared to a standard SEM. To fully realize the potential of the device in the new Southampton Nanofabrication Centre it was installed in a class 1000 area co-sited with a FIB and adjacent to the high resolution e-beam class 100 facility and extensive lithography and layer deposition tools. Achieving an adequate acoustic environment has required numerous modifications to the clean room infrastructure. The paper provides details of our multi-facetted, clean room compatible approach to resolving these multiple practical issues.
