Abstract

See full text

An ion beam milling system for the preparation of transmission electron microscope specimens suitable for atomic resolution imaging, particularly of III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors and their alloys, is described. The system includes ion beam sources and reactive molecular gas jets which may be operated in combination or separately, as appropriate. A new heated specimen holder, giving greatly increased reaction rates with the molecular gas jet, allows milling angles very close to zero.
