摘要
In this paper, the authors try to introduce three techniques for plane-view TEM sample preparation. First, traditional plane-view TEM sample preparation will be introduced. The second technique is FIB-based lift-out method, which places the sample on the carbon film. This technique is used to cut isolated defects, such as SRAM single bit failure, but this technique introduces artifacts from FIB ion damage and carbon film. The last technique is a combination of tripod polishing, FIB milling and ion milling. Specific cases will be given to illustrate the application of these techniques.
