A Novel TEM Sample Preparation by Using Micro Magnetorheological Finishing

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel TEM sample preparation method is proposed in this paper, which utilizes magnetorheological finishing to thin TEM sample. It can effectively reduce subsurface damage caused by mechanical lapping. A magnetorheological polishing tool is designed to meet TEM sample thinning requirements. Thinning testis conducted on Φ3mm single crystal silicon. Polished surface is observed by using transmission electron microscope, and high-resolution microscopy image of single crystal silicon can be achieved.
