A method of delayering a surface of a semiconductor structure may include applying a voltage in the range of about 50 eV to less than 300 eV to an inductively coupled Argon ion source operating at a radio frequency. A collimated ion beam incident on the surface of the semiconductor structure may be generated, from the Argon ion source, for the planar removal of layers of the surface. A structural material underlying the surface of the semiconductor structure is exposed using an end-point detector based on the planar removal of the layers.
