Abstract:Focused ion beam (FIB) is a powerful tool for making site-specific and uniform transmission electron microscopy (TEM) specimens out of almost all kinds of solid materials. For thin-film materials, the TEM specimens are usually prepared for cross-sectional and plan-view observations. FIB-based preparation methods for the cross-section specimens have been developed for a long time, and highquality TEM specimens that are suitable for retrieving information with the atomic resolution can be conveniently obtained [… Show more
