The high brightness liquid metal ion source (LMIS) is being used for ion beam lithography. Recent technological advances include a source for reactive metals and a source of 7Li+ for light ion beam lithography seems possible. Alloy sources for microfabrication by direct doping are being studied by several groups and a gold-silicon alloy source has also been used for lithography. Fundamental understanding of the LMIS is still advancing and the emission process is now generally held to be field evaporation. Recent energy spread measurements have revealed two modes of behaviour which may be linked to hydrodynamic effects.
