Welcome to the Centre for Ion Beam
Applications
The Centre for Ion Beam
Applications (CIBA) is a
state-of-the-art research centre
utilizing advanced high energy (MeV) ion
beam techniques covering a wide range of
disciplines, including biophysics,
lab-on-a-chip technology, nuclear
microscopy of degenerative diseases,
microphotonics, advanced materials
characterization and semiconductor
micromachining.
CIBA
facilities include a 3.5 MV dynamitron
ion accelerator and 3 advanced beam line
facilities: The proton beam writer, the
NUS nuclear microscope, and the ion beam
analysis high resolution spectrometer,
are all state-of-the-art facilities and
places CIBA as the premier facility of
its kind worldwide. It is worth noting
that the 3.5 MV accelerator is only one
of three such high brightness
accelerators worldwide, the proton beam
writing facility is the only one of its
kind in the world (CIBA is pioneering
this research), the nuclear microscope
facility has the world’s best
performances, and the IBA high
resolution spectrometer is a
state-of-the-art facility for advanced
materials characterization and is one of
a few such facilities worldwide.
