โฆ Synopsis
Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) has been used to diagnose silicon LSI circuits and Josephson junction devices. For LSI circuits, some typical failure problems have been presented. For Nb-Si-Nb Josephson junction, microholes in the thin silicon layer have observed, and they are responsible for the short circuiting of these devices.

A novel cross-sectional sample preparation technique for quantum wire (QWR) structures is described. By coating a thin layer of Au with a designed pattern on the sample as a marker to indicate the position of the wire pattern, the location of the thinned area can be controlled precisely. An example
