    Abstract: A method of forming a sample and performing correlative S/TEM and APM analysis is provided wherein a sample containing a region of interest is cut from a bulk of sample material and formed into an ultra-thin lamella. The lamella is then analyzed with an S/TEM to form an image. The lamella sample and mount may then go through a cleaning process to remove any contamination. The lamella containing the ROI is then embedded within a selected material and is formed into a needle-shaped sample. The needle-shaped sample is then analyzed with the APM and the resulting data is merged and correlated with the S/TEM data.

    Abstract: Methods for locating and characterizing defects can include performing a first scan of a substrate to produce a first defect map including a first set of coordinates of one or more defects of the substrate and performing a second scan of one or more regions of the substrate associated with the defects based on the first defect map to produce one or more electron channeling contrast (ECC) images of the defects. Characterization of the defects can be based on the ECC images alone or in combination with other techniques. Such methods can include determining a second set of coordinates associated with the one or more defects based on the ECC images and directing an ion beam toward the substrate and milling the substrate based on the second set of coordinates.
