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 ar

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
TEM sample preparation, VLSI, semiconductor processing, Defect analysis A cross-sectional sample preparation technique is described that relies on lithographic and dry-etching processing, thus avoiding metallographic polishing and ion milling. The method is capable of producing cross-sectional trans
During the microstructural examination of ceramic thermal barrier coatings by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), initial efforts for the preparation of cross-sectional thin foils from interface regions by conventional means were mostly failures. Delamination of the Yz03-stabilized ZrOz ceramic
## Abstract A method is described for the preparation of crossβsectional samples of thin films for transmission electron microscopy. The technique produces larger amounts of thin region as compared with ion milling and eliminates the problems associated with ion beam damage. The requirement is that
