  • Abstract
    This paper presents several advances made in the areas of 1) automated electropolishing of metals, 2) specimen preparation for grain boundary analysis, 3) site-specific specimen preparation for semiconductor devices, and 4) low-energy focused ion beam (FIB) milling to reduce the extent of ion-induced damage during the generic FIB preparation process
