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 worlds 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.
