A multi-axis micro-EDM machine tool for small hole is developed. It mainly includes marble base, precision servo and linear-motor platforms, RC pulse power supply, CCD microscope and so on. Superiority of linear motor used on the Z axis is analyzed. Primary experiments, in which small electrodes with different materials are used to machine 3mm thickness TC4, are carried out. Histograms of open-circuit voltage and capacitance to machining efficiency and electrode relative wear and small-hole samples are given. Influence rules of open-circuit voltage and capacitance to machining efficiency and electrode relative wear are analyzed according to experimental results.

The use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to support process development of advanced microelectronic devices is often challenged by a large amount of samples submitted from wafer fabrication areas and specific-spot analysis. Improving the TEM sample preparation techniques for a fast turnaround time is critical in order to provide a timely support for customers and improve the utilization of TEM. For the specific-area sample preparation, a technique which can be easily prepared with the least amount of effort is preferred. For these reasons, we have developed several techniques which have greatly facilitated the TEM sample preparation.For specific-area analysis, the use of a copper grid with a small hole is found to be very useful. With this small-hole grid technique, TEM sample preparation can be proceeded by well-established conventional methods. The sample is first polished to the area of interest, which is then carefully positioned inside the hole. This polished side is placed against the grid by epoxy Fig. 1 is an optical image of a TEM cross-section after dimpling to light transmission.

The minimum zone fitting and error evaluation for the logarithmic curve has important applications. Based on geometry optimization approximation algorithm whilst considering geometric characteristics of logarithmic curves, a new fitting and error evaluation method for the logarithmic curve is presented. To this end, two feature points, to serve as reference, are chosen either from those located on the least squares logarithmic curve or from amongst measurement points. Four auxiliary points surrounding each of the two reference points are then arranged to resemble vertices of a square. Subsequently, based on these auxiliary points, a series of auxiliary logarithmic curves (16 curves) are constructed, and the normal distance and corresponding range of values between each measurement point and all auxiliary logarithmic curves are calculated. Finally, by means of an iterative approximation technique consisting of comparing, evaluating, and changing reference points; determining new auxiliary points; and constructing corresponding auxiliary logarithmic curves, minimum zone fitting and evaluation of logarithmic curve profile errors are implemented. The example results show that the logarithmic curve can be fitted, and its profile error can be evaluated effectively and precisely using the presented method.
