Description

Preparation method of in-situ mechanical tensile sample of transmission electron microscope
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a transmission electron microscope in-situ mechanical tensile sample, in particular to a block material in-situ mechanical tensile test, and belongs to the technical field of transmission electron microscope in-situ nanometer mechanical test.
Background
In the aerospace and defense industries, high-performance equipment achieves service performance through high-performance parts, and the aerospace field also requires lightweight and miniaturization of parts. The mechanical and photoelectric properties of the parts can be reduced by a damaged layer generated by stress induction in the mechanical processing process of the parts, for example, the electrical properties of the devices can be reduced by an amorphous layer and a crystal damaged layer generated in the ultra-precision grinding process of a silicon wafer, and along with the development of miniaturization, the damaged layer plays an extremely important role in influencing the properties of the micro devices. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new machining process and a new machining apparatus, to reduce the thickness of a damaged layer generated during machining, and to understand the mechanism of formation of the damaged layer is the basis for developing the new process and the new apparatus. Transmission electron microscope in-situ nano mechanics is an important method for researching a damaged layer forming mechanism, can be used for observing the deformation of a stress induction material and the damage forming and evolution processes in a transmission electron microscope in real time, and can be used for carrying out nano-scale control on displacement.
In-situ nano-mechanical research of a transmission electron microscope requires that the thickness of a sample is about 100nm, and the in-situ nano-mechanical research is divided into in-situ indentation, in-situ compression and in-situ stretching according to the loading mode of the sample. In-situ indentation experiments require small radius of curvature of the pressing pin, and a very thin sample is pressed by the extremely small pressing pin, so that the experiment difficulty is very high, and the stress analysis is also very difficult; in the in-situ compression experiment, the sample is bent before reaching the stress limit of the sample in the compression process, so that the sample is difficult to control; in the in-situ tensile experiment, because the axial tensile force is applied to the sample, the stress direction of the sample is not changed before the tensile stress limit is reached, but the difficulty of the in-situ tensile experiment of the transmission electron microscope is that the sample is difficult to prepare, the thickness of the sample is required to be about 100nm, and two ends of the sample are required to be fixed.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention adopts the focused ion beam to cut, transfer, fix and thin the sample, and realizes the sample preparation of the bulk material transmission electron microscope in-situ nanometer mechanical tensile experiment.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a preparation method of a transmission electron microscope in-situ mechanical tensile sample comprises the steps of tilting a sample platform by 54 degrees in a focused ion beam system, depositing a Pt protective layer on a part to be cut of the sample, removing materials around the part to be cut of the sample by using an ion beam of 4nA to form a micron sheet with the length of 8-12 mu m, the depth of 8-12 mu m and the thickness of 1.5-2.5 mu m, trimming the micron sheet by using an ion beam of 600pA-2nA, tilting the sample platform by 28-38 degrees, welding the micron sheet on a manipulator on a stretching device, tilting the sample platform by-18 to 5 degrees, cutting the micron sheet into an I shape by using an ion beam of 2nA, depositing a Pt layer with the thickness of 200-600nm by using the ion beam, then thinning the micron sheet by using an ion beam of 20-120pA to reduce the thickness of the micron sheet to 50-150nm, in-situ tensile experiments were performed on the samples in a transmission electron microscope. The invention provides a preparation method of a transmission electron microscope in-situ mechanical tensile sample, which realizes the sample preparation of a transmission electron microscope in-situ mechanical tensile experiment of a block material.
The sample is a block material with the length of 10 mu m-20mm, the width of 10 mu m-20mm and the height of 4 mu m-4 mm. Because the distance between the two ends of the sample fixed by the stretching device is 1.5-3 μm, the sample to be cut must be large enough, the length, the width and the height are required to be not less than 10 μm and not less than 4 μm, and the sample cannot be too large due to the limitation of a sample chamber of a focused ion beam system.
Fixing the sample on a horizontal sample table by using conductive adhesive, and fixing the stretching device on a 45-degree sample table by using the conductive adhesive. The focused ion beam system requires the sample to be conductive, so the sample is fixed by conductive adhesive, the sample is fixed on a horizontal sample table, and a stretching device is fixed on a 45-degree sample table, so that the sample is conveniently cut, transferred, fixed and thinned.
And (3) tilting the sample platform by 54 degrees in a focused ion beam system, and depositing a Pt protective layer on the part to be cut of the sample with the thickness of 200-600 nm. Because the included angle between the ion beam direction and the normal direction of the horizontal sample table is 54 degrees, the sample table should be tilted by 54 degrees, the damage of the ion beam to the sample in the cutting and thinning processes can be reduced by the protective layer, and the common protective layer is Pt which has stable chemical property.
And removing materials around the part to be cut of the sample by using an ion beam of 4nA to form a micron sheet with the length of 8-12 microns, the depth of 8-12 microns and the thickness of 1.5-2.5 microns. 4nA ion beam can bombard and remove sample materials with high efficiency, and the micro-sheet is too large or too thin and is easy to bend, so that the micro-sheet with the length of 8-12 mu m, the width of 8-12 mu m and the thickness of 1.5-2.5 mu m is selected.
Trimming the micron sheet by using an ion beam of 600pA-2nA, and compensating the sample platform by 1.5-2.5 degrees along the tilting direction. After cutting by using an ion beam of 4nA, a damaged layer is formed on the surface of the micron sheet, the surface of the micron sheet needs to be trimmed by using an ion beam of 600pA-2nA, and the ion beam needs to be tilted by 1.5-2.5 degrees for compensation because the ion beam has a convergence angle.
And (3) rotating the sample platform by 5-10 degrees, welding the micrometer sheet on a manipulator by using ion beam assisted deposition, cutting the micrometer sheet by using 600pA-2nA ion beams, and separating the micrometer sheet from the sample substrate. The tilting of the sample platform by 5-10 degrees is beneficial to observing and cutting the micron sheet in an ion beam mode, the ion beam of 600pA-2nA has small damage to the micron sheet, and the micron sheet can be cut off.
The sample stage is tilted by 9 degrees, and a layer of Pt with the thickness of 0.6-1.0 μm is deposited at the sample fixing position of the stretching device. Because the stretching device is fixed on the 45-degree sample platform, after the sample platform is tilted by 9 degrees, the normal direction of the stretching device is consistent with the ion beam direction, and a layer of Pt with the thickness of 0.6-1.0 μm is deposited at the sample fixing position of the stretching device, thereby being beneficial to thinning the welded sample.
And (3) rotating the sample platform by 28-38 degrees, and welding the micrometer sheet on the manipulator on the stretching device. The sample platform is tilted by 28-38 degrees, so that the micrometer sheet is parallel to the fixed position of the sample of the stretching device, and the welding of the micrometer sheet is convenient.
The sample platform is tilted to-18 to 5 degrees, the micrometer sheet is cut into an I shape by using an ion beam of 2nA, and the width of the middle part of the micrometer sheet is 0.5 to 3.5 mu m. The sample stage is tilted to-18 to 5 degrees, the ion beam direction can be perpendicular to the surface of the micrometer sheet, the micrometer sheet is cut into an I shape, the stress of the middle part of the micrometer sheet is maximum when the micrometer sheet is pulled, and the change characteristic of the micrometer sheet is most obvious in the stretching state.
The sample platform is horizontally rotated by 180 degrees, then is tilted by 8-18 degrees, a 200-600nm thick Pt layer is deposited by ion beams, then the micrometer sheet is thinned by using 20-120pA ion beams, the sample platform compensates for 1.5-2.5 degrees along the tilting direction during thinning, and the thickness of the micrometer sheet is thinned to 50-150 nm. The sample stage is rotated 180 degrees and then tilted 8-18 degrees, so that the micron sheet is parallel to the direction of the ion beam, the ion beam is favorable for thinning the micron sheet, a layer of Pt with the thickness of 200-600nm is deposited by the ion beam, then the ion beam with the thickness of 20-120pA is used for thinning the micron sheet, the damage of the ion beam to a sample in the thinning process can be reduced, the ion beam has a convergence angle, the ion beam needs to be tilted 1.5-2.5 degrees for compensation, the thickness of the micron sheet is 50-150nm, and the microstructure of the micron sheet can be observed under a transmission electron microscope.
Fixing the stretching device on a sample rod of a transmission electron microscope in-situ mechanical system, and carrying out in-situ stretching experiment on the sample in the transmission electron microscope.
The invention has the advantages that the focused ion beam system is adopted to cut, transfer, fix and thin the sample, thereby realizing the sample preparation of the transmission electron microscope in-situ nanometer mechanical tensile experiment.
