gentle milling

A surface of a specimen milled by the focused ion beam (FIB) technique or a normal ion milling technique is likely to suffer damage. To remove the damaged layers on the specimen surface, an argon ion beam at a low accelerating voltage of 100 V to 2 kV is used to gently mill the specimen surface. This technique is termed "gentle milling."
