Summary:

This work presents post-FIB Ar milling of plan view TEM specimens. The presented approach omits mechanical polishing or adding a protective block prior to FIB preparation of plan view specimens. The controlled and reproducible Ar milling technique results to artifact-free with large field of view plan view TEM specimens.
