Multiscale simulation of the focused electron beam induced deposition process

Pablo de Vera, Martina Azzolini, Gennady Sushko +5

Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a powerful technique for 3D-printing of complex nanodevices. However, for resolutions below 10 nm, it struggles to control size,…
