Brief description
Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of the preparation method of sample for use in transmitted electron microscope provided in an embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 2~Fig. 8 is that the device architecture formed in the preparation method of the sample for use in transmitted electron microscope of the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated Figure.
Specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, the preparation method of sample for use in transmitted electron microscope proposed by the present invention is made further Describe in detail.According to following explanation and claims, advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from.It should be noted that, accompanying drawing All in the form of very simplification and all using non-accurately ratio, only in order to convenient, lucidly aid illustration present invention enforcement The purpose of example.
The invention provides a kind of preparation method of sample for use in transmitted electron microscope, it is used for preparing large-area transmission electron microscopic sample, with It is supplied to transmission electron microscope and carry out coverage count (mm2Rank) find failure structure, specific schematic flow sheet is as shown in Figure 1. The preparation method of described sample for use in transmitted electron microscope comprises the steps:
Step S11, pastes a becket in the front of chip;
Step S12, peels off the structure sheaf at the back side of described chip to required observation;
Step S13, the chip of excision described becket periphery, retain described becket together with the core in described becket Piece, forms sample for use in transmitted electron microscope.
Specifically, as shown in Fig. 2 being the schematic diagram of chip 1.Circuit unit (figure in fail address is comprised on described chip 1 Shown in middle lattice), structure sheaf in described chip 1 for the described fail address circuit unit, i.e. the structure sheaf of required observation.First First the front of described chip 1 is ground, until the required observation structure layer that described fail address circuit unit is located, so that Clearer can observe described fail address circuit unit, it is analyzed.
Referring next to Fig. 3, paste a becket 2 in the front of described chip 1, and described becket 2 encloses institute State the described fail address circuit unit in chip 1, lost efficacy ground to guarantee to contain in the sample for use in transmitted electron microscope finally preparing Location circuit unit.Specifically, it is to paste described becket 2 by thermal gels in the front of described chip 1, because thermal gels are dry Extremely strong stability can be kept under dry state.Further, the material of described becket can be copper or molybdenum, described becket It is elliptical ring, the length of its major axis is 3mm to the maximum.
As shown in figure 4, because PUR labeling rates are fast, efficiency high, therefore by described chip 1 just passing through PUR 3 Face is pasted onto the top of carrier 4, and is stained with supporter 5 in the bottom of described carrier 4, can easily described chip 1 be carried on the back The silicon substrate 10 in face is ground.Further, described carrier 4 is preferably sheet glass, so that when grinding described silicon substrate 10 Real-time monitored can be carried out, it is to avoid overgrinding.Above support 5 is preferably iron block.
Then remove the described silicon substrate 10 at described chip 1 back side.Further, the silicon first to described chip 1 back side Substrate 10 is ground, to remove most of silicon substrate at described chip 1 back side, specifically, by the silicon lining at described chip 1 back side Bottom 10 wear down to tens micron thickness, specifically as shown in Figure 5.
Then the remaining silicon substrate in described chip 1 back side is removed by chemical etching.Preferably, it is to institute by ball phosphoric acid State the remaining silicon substrate in chip 1 back side and carry out chemical etching, further, whole chemically etching process is at 60 DEG C~100 DEG C At a temperature of carry out, so as to remaining for described chip 1 back side silicon substrate is removed according to certain speed, remove excess silicon Chip schematic diagram after substrate specifically refers to Fig. 6.
Subsequently, the back side of described chip 1 is successively peeled off in a conventional manner, to different types of material layers be It is removed using corresponding conventional method, until the structure sheaf that described fail address circuit unit is located, be stripping as shown in Figure 7 From after chip structure schematic diagram.
Finally the chip after peeling off is put into and carry out in acetone soaking until the impurity on described chip is removed, cut manually Except the chip of described becket periphery, retain described becket together with the chip in described becket, required for ultimately forming Sample for use in transmitted electron microscope, and contain the fail address circuit unit of required observation in described sample.Further, now The inside entirely being surrounded by described becket 2 is thin area, and area has reached mm2Rank, that is, achieve large-area transmission Electronic Speculum and see The effect surveyed, specifically as shown in Figure 8.
Foregoing description is only the description to present pre-ferred embodiments, not any restriction to the scope of the invention, this Any change that the those of ordinary skill in bright field does according to the disclosure above content, modification, belong to the protection of claims Scope.
