Welcome to BEACON — your gateway to the powerful world of focused charged particle beam technologies.
Discover the full spectrum of what’s possible when precision meets innovation:
The FEBIP community, founded in 2006, has sucessfully acted as a central platform for research and collaboration in focused electron beam-induced processing.
To reflect the field’s evolution and embrace a wider range of beam-induced techniques — including focused ion beam processes — we are proud to introduce BEACON: Beam Induced Nano-Manufacturing.
This webpage is not only dedicated to introducing beam-induced nanomanufacturing — it’s also intended to grow the community around it. Whether you want to share your latest research, present your workgroup, announce meetings, inform about open positions or distribute useful software, you’re warmly invited to become part of the BEACON network. Together, we aim to make our activities — and the broader community — more visible and connected.
Discover the full range of beam-induced nano-manufacturing techniques — from additive deposition and subtractive removal to localized material modification — all enabling precise control at the 3D nanoscale.
Get inspired by how beam-induced nano-manufacturing has already pushed boundaries — and explore the vast potential that still lies ahead across emerging fields and industries.
Explore global research groups advancing beam-induced nano-manufacturing. Discover ongoing projects and connect with leading experts driving innovation in this field.
Browse our curated database to find key literature, landmark studies, and the latest research leveraging the capabilities of beam-induced nano-manufacturing.
Access dedicated software tools for upfront design, process planning, and advanced simulations — all tailored to beam-induced nano-manufacturing workflows.
