Abstract
This paper presents a successful methodology for TEM sample preparation on indium pre-form thermal interface material (TIM), which is currently used in high-performance microprocessor product. Experimental results show that FIB related artifacts are greatly reduced, thus enables phase morphology study of inter-metallic compound (IMC) layers between TIM and IC chip
