Abstract
Special techniques have been developed for routine preparation of transmission electron microscope samples from integrated circuit devices. These methods, which are described and illustrated in this paper, are the preparation of replicas of fractured multilayer structures, vertical cross sections, horizontal cross sections, and feature enhancement on cross‐section samples through the use of special staining and etching treatments.
