  • Abstract
    Determination of morphology and size distribution of primary and secondary abrasives of slurry is essential for optimization of CMP performance. The undiluted slurry was characterized in liquid phase using silicon based Nano-pipettes in TEM. To validate utility of Nano-pipettes, comparatively quantitative analysis was performed by cryo-TEM technique.
