Abstract
A system may include a substrate stage to support a substrate, and a plurality of beam sources. The plurality of beam sources may include an ion beam source, the ion beam source arranged to direct an ion beam to the substrate, and a radical beam source, the radical beam source arranged to direct a radical beam to the substrate. The system may include a controller configured to control the ion beam source and the radical beam source to operate independently of one another, in at least one aspect, wherein the at least one aspect includes beam composition, beam angle of incidence, and relative scanning of a beam source with respect to the substrate.
