Summary:

In this paper, we propose a method for adjusting the tilt-axis of a sample without a Si substrate such as VNAND Plan-view in a transmission electron microscope. If the study in the circular VNAND channel hole is successful, it can be extended to additional samples. For example, the size of the lamella can be reduced by applying it to BEOL etc of DRAM.
