A preparational method was developed solving the problem of cross-sectional TEM preparation of thin films and layer systems deposited onto water-soluble substrates. The technique is based on the replacement of the sample onto steady substrate, followed by mechanical and ion beam thinning. Cross-sect

We present a preparation method of cross-sectional thin foils for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Samples are 0.1ยฑ1 mm thick ceramic oxide ยฎlms (CeO 2 , CeO 2 ยฑYBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 and CeO 2 ยฑZrO 2 /YO 2 ยฑYBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 ) epitaxially grown on 30ยฑ100 mm highly textured nickel substrates.

Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) is an imaging technique particularly suited to the study of layered structures. For integrated electronic devices it has become a common practice to use XTEM to assess the shape and crystallinity of component layers as well as defect structures
