20140190934 | METHOD FOR PREPARING SAMPLES FOR IMAGING - A method and apparatus is provided for preparing samples for observation in a charged particle beam system in a manner that reduces or prevents artifacts. Material is deposited onto the sample using charged particle beam deposition just before or during the final milling, which results in an artifact-free surface. Embodiments are useful for preparing cross sections for SEM observation of samples having layers of materials of different hardnesses. Embodiments are useful for preparation of thin TEM samples. | 07-10-2014 |
20150243477 | Bulk Deposition for Tilted Mill Protection - To reduce artifacts in a surface exposed by a focused ion beam for viewing, a trench is milled next to the region of interest, and the trench is filled to create a bulkhead. The ion beam is directed through the bulkhead to expose a portion of the region of interest for viewing. The trench is filled, for example, by charged particle beam-induced deposition. The trench is typically milled and filled from the top down, and then the ion beam is angled with respect to the sample surface to expose the region of interest. | 08-27-2015 |
20150243478 | High Aspect Ratio Structure Analysis - Curtaining artifacts on high aspect ratio features are reduced by reducing the distance between a protective layer and feature of interest.

A protective layer is deposited onto the sloped surface, and the ion beam mills through the protective layer to expose the feature of interest for analysis. The sloped mill positions the protective layer close to the feature of interest to reduce curtaining. | 08-27-2015 |
20150260784 | Multidimensional Structural Access - Multiple planes within the sample are exposed from a single perspective for contact by an electrical probe.

The planes can be accessed, for example, for contacting with an electrical probe for applying or sensing a voltage. The level of an exposed layer to be contacted can be identified, for example, by counting down the exposed layers from the sample surface, since the non-orthogonal mill makes all layers visible from above. Alternatively, the sample can be milled orthogonally to the surface, and then tilted and/or rotated to provide access to multiple levels of the device. The milling is preferably performed away from the region of interest, to provide electrical access to the region while minimizing damage to the region. | 09-17-2015 |
