摘要
Three-dimensional simulations of focused ion beam milling, which use the level set method for surface evolution, are presented for the first time. This approach allows the inherent description of topological changes. The surface rates are calculated using Monte Carlo ray tracing in order to incorporate shadowing as well as redeposition. Parallelization is used to reduce the computation time.
