ENGLISH
The success of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis depends heavily on the quality of the sample preparation. And sample preparation requirements become more stringent when atomic resolution is needed or when material features are smaller and more complex. Using FIB to prepare samples for TEM provides the best method for achieving the required thin lamella and ensuring uniform quality. Today’s novel materials, in particular, require more advanced TEM sample preparation methods to truly observe the samples with the desired detail.
For these novel materials, sample thickness is not the only parameter that must be considered. FIB-SEM instruments allow site-specific sample preparation by combining several techniques that help to locate the feature of interest on the sample or determine the orientation of a structure. In some cases, the samples will require that the lamella is prepared from a specific geometry, which necessitates the use of a lift-out technique.
