  • TEM-lamella, process for its manufacture, and apparatus for executing the process
    Patent number: 9103753
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a TEM-lamella includes mounting (51) a plate shaped substrate having a thickness in a support, manufacturing (53) a first, strip-shaped recess on a first side of the substrate under a first angle to the support by means of a particle beam, and manufacturing (55) a second strip-shaped recess on a second side of the substrate under a second angle to the support by means of a particle beam, such that the first and the second strip-shaped recess mutually form an acute or right angle, and between them form an overlap region of lesser thickness. The lamella has a thicker rim region and a thinner central region, with a first strip-shaped, recess on a first side of the lamella and a second strip-shaped recess on a second side of the lamella, wherein the first and the second strip-shaped recess mutually form an acute or right angle, and between them form an overlap region having a thickness of below 100 nm.
