WhatsApp: +86 18838072829The left image shows the sample as prepared in FIB (lift out method, mounted on an OmniprobeTM Cu grid). Clearly, the sample is too thick and is not flat. Ion milling in PIPS II was used to clean and thin the sample; sample was cooled to 80 °C. Stationary milling mode was selected and the gun was set at 300
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829This problem is overcome by milling a sample chamber with a focused ion beam. Figure 14 shows a FIB milled pit (114 × 108 × 65 μm) that was cut within 114 hours (FEI FIB200, Gasource, 30 kV, 11500 pA). The smooth floor produced by FIB milling provides excellent observation of the contained sample using a transmitted light microscope.

WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Broad ion beam milling utilizes ionized argon gas to bombard the sample, and physically sputter atoms from the sample. When done in cross section (also known as slope cutting), as demonstrated here, a carbide mask is positioned between the ion beam and the sample, which serves to define the position of the crosssection surface, as well as protect the front surface of the sample.
