Based on the system architecture, as shown in fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present invention, a detailed method flow for manufacturing a chip observation sample is as follows:
step 101: fixing the chip to be observed on the surface of an object.
In practical applications, a mechanical structure is designed on an object to fix a chip to be observed, for example, a fixing bolt or a fixing groove is arranged on the object to fix the chip to be observed on the surface of the object; alternatively, the chip to be observed is stuck to the surface of the object with a substance having a sticking property. Preferably, the adhesive substance is used to remove the chip from the surface of the object after the sample to be observed is formed.

In practical applications, the surface of the object for fixing the chip is required to have a certain flatness, for example, a stainless steel plate is used for fixing the chip.
Step 102: and grinding and removing the passivation layer of the chip to be observed by using sand paper or grinding fluid with a first granularity through a grinding and polishing machine.
Wherein, the abrasive paper of first granularity is the silicon nitride abrasive paper that the granularity scope is [7um, 15um ], and the lapping liquid is the diamond lapping liquid that the granularity scope is [3um, 8um ].
Preferably, the first-granularity abrasive paper is silicon nitride abrasive paper with granularity of 10um, and the grinding fluid is diamond grinding fluid with granularity of 5 um.
Step 103: and (4) continuing to grind the layer to be observed by using sand paper with a second granularity smaller than the first granularity.
