Session 4: Circuit Edit and Beam-based Sample Preparation
Location: Ballroom A (Renaissance Austin Hotel)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: This session features papers reviewing recent studies and technique development that enhance the reliability of circuit edit and TEM sample preparation. Included are the development of a copper etch process that provides variable selectivity sufficient for low-k dielectrics, a quantitative analysis of sub-nanometer FIB deposited Platinum via resistance and advanced in-situ, real-time analysis techniques for monitoring the FIB etching for enhancing trench planarity and endpoint detection. The TEM topics are: a study of FIB electron beam assisted platinum deposition, and the direct observation of crystal and amorphous structures of TEM samples.
