    摘要: A substrate (1) is provided comprising on its surface a patterned area (8) defined by a given topography. The substrate is to be processed for obtaining a TEM sample (4) in the form of a slice of the substrate . According to the method of the invention, a conformal layer (7) of contrasting material is deposited on the topography, by depositing a layer (5) of the contrasting material on a local target area (6) of the substrate, spaced apart from the patterned area (8). The material is deposited by Electron Beam Induced Deposition (EBID). The deposition parameters, the thickness of the layer (5) deposited in the target area (6), and the distance of said target area to the patterned area, are such that a conformal layer (7) of the contrasting material is formed on the topography of the patterned area (8). This is followed by the deposition of the protective layer (10), which does not damage the topography in the patterned area (8), as it is protected by the conformal layer (7). The TEM sample (4) is prepared in a manner known in the prior art, for example by FIB. The conformal contrasting layer (7) provides a good contrast with the protective layer, thereby allowing a high quality TEM analysis.

    摘要: An epitaxial growth apparatus is provided having an improved growing speed. This epitaxial growth apparatus is provided with: a reaction chamber that is demarcated by means of a substrate placing section having a substrate placed thereon, a ceiling plate having light permeability, and sidewall sections; a heating means, which is disposed outside of the reaction chamber, and which heats the substrate through the ceiling plate, said substrate being placed in the reaction chamber; and a reaction gas introducing means, which introduces into the reaction chamber a reaction gas in parallel to the horizontal direction of the substrate. The distance between the center of the ceiling plate and the substrate placing section is less than 10 mm.

    摘要: The plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) apparatus comprises a tubular chamber (100) configured for a wafer boat (10) with substrates. The PECVD apparatus further comprises heating means (110) arranged at an outside of the chamber and configured for emitting heat by means of radiation, and a controller for controlling a state inside the chamber (100), including temperature and composition. Herein, the heating means (110) are configured for the provision of radiation according to a radially varying profile within the chamber, which radial heating profile comprises a first radial zone (I) and a second radial zone (II), and wherein a heat flux (F I ) in the first radial zone (I) is higher than the heat flux (F II ) in the second radial zone.
