AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Traditional APT sample stages have poor conductivity, making it difficult for atoms at the sample tip to evaporate and easy to break.
Method used
The APT sample stage design employs a metal support and a silicon substrate stage. By depositing a metal thin film and a metal support on the sample stage, the conductivity and thermal conductivity are improved, and the sample is connected by depositing metal materials using a focused ion beam.
Benefits of technology
It improves the evaporation efficiency of atoms at the sample tip, reduces the probability of sample and sample stage breakage, saves sample material, and shortens sampling time.
