Abstract In this paper the new Vion™ Plasma-FIB system, developed by FEI, is evaluated for cross sectioning of Cu filled Through Silicon Via (TSV) interconnects. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to evaluate and optimise different Plasma-FIB (P-FIB) milling strategies in terms of performance and cross section surface quality. The sufficient preservation of microstructures within cross sections is crucial for subsequent Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) grain structure analyses and a high resolution interface characterisation by TEM.

Microparticles are ubiquitous in applications ranging from electronics and drug delivery to cosmetics and food. Conventionally, non-spherical microparticles in various materials with specific shapes, sizes, and physicochemical properties have been fabricated using cleanroom-free lithography techniques such as soft lithography and its high-resolution version particle replication in non-wetting template (PRINT). These methods process the particle material in its liquid/semi-liquid state by deformable molds, limiting the materials from which the particles and the molds can be fabricated. In this study, the microparticle material is exploited as a sheet placed on a deformable substrate, punched by a robust mold. Drawing inspiration from the macro-manufacturing technique of punching metallic sheets, Micromechanical Punching (MMP) is a high-throughput technique for fabrication of non-spherical microparticles. MMP allows production of microparticles from prepatterned, porous, and fibrous films, constituting thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers. As an illustration of application of MMP in drug delivery, flat, microdisk-shaped Furosemide embedded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles are fabricated and Furosemide release is observed. Thus, it is shown in the paper that Micromechanical punching has potential to make micro/nanofabrication more accessible to the research and industrial communities active in applications that require engineered particles.

We review results of a high resolution systematic study of the specific heat for alkyl-cyanobiphenyl liquid crystals confined to the 0.2µm diameter cylindrical pores Anopore membranes. The nematic director alignment at the pore wall is varied from homeotropic to tangential by pore surface treatment. Several phenomena are uncovered by these studies which probed the weakly first order nematic to isotropic, the continuous smectic-A to nematic and the first order smectic-A to isotropic phase transitions. The specific heat is strongly dependent on the nematic director configuration, and confinement effects are remarkably distinct according to the order of the phase transition. The influence of elastic distortions and surface ordering and disordering effects are evident. Despite considerable departures from bulk behavior with regards to specific heat peaks size, rounding and width, and transition temperature shifts, a bulk-like critical behavior appears to be retained. The formation of smectic translational order within the pores is hindered for those liquid crystals that also possess a nematic phase. The average scalar order parameter temperature dependence is extracted from the specific heat results using a simplified Landau-de Gennes type of model, and is shown to be consistent with nuclear magnetic resonance results.
