Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit sample analysis, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a TEM sample. Background technique
[0002] TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) has a wide range of applications in various fields including integrated circuit sample analysis, and double-beam focused ion beam (FIB) sample preparation is the most important TEM sample preparation method in the semiconductor field. .
[0003] Since the size of the TEM sample is very small, only on the micron level, in order to better control the thickness of the TEM sample, it is generally required that the surface of the chip sample is about 0.1-0.5 microns away from the target analysis structure below it before the FIB sample preparation starts. However, due to the different process steps of many chip samples, there are often thick multi-layer materials above the target analysis structure, which causes the phenomenon that the sample s...
