Why is Beam Alignment Important in Nanotechnology?
In nanotechnology, the [nanometer scale] is extremely small, typically between 1 to 100 nanometers. At this scale, even the slightest misalignment can lead to significant errors, impacting the quality and functionality of nanoscale devices and materials. Enhanced beam alignment is essential for processes like [electron beam lithography], [focused ion beam machining], and [scanning probe microscopy], where precision determines the success of the operation.
