Controlling interactions between ions in a segmented linear ion trap is becoming standard technology. Extending these methods to two dimensions, however, is not trivial. The trapping and control of 40Ca+ ions in a 4 by 4 array of addressable planar-electrode ion traps is shown. Progress in adjustable radio-frequency control of the electrodes is demonstrated, allowing the addressing and tuning of the Coulomb interaction between nearest-neighbours in the 2D array.
