SRIM/TRIM Home Page . SRIM/TRIM is a Monte Carlo program to model ion cascades in materials.  It can be used to estimate sputter rates and damage layers (among many other things).
FIB Lift-out technique This is a summary of the steps involved in performing the lift-out technique as shown by Fibics Inc.  They have several other pages illustrating fib techniques.
SACT/FIB sample prep This is a .pdf file prepared by Scott Walck for the Lehigh school on the use of the Small Angle Cleavage Technique for pre-thinning a sample prior to final preparation in the FIB. 
Termination of the FIB process in a Dual Beam instrument. This is a .pdf file prepared by Scott Walck illustrating the use of the e-beam to determine the end-point of sample thinning in the FIB.
SACT Tutorial A basic tutorial prepared by Scott Walck on the Small Angle Cleavage Technique.
