Abstract

It is very difficult to prepare cross-sectional TEM samples for phase-change optical disks by conventional argon ion milling because of the difference of ion milling rates between multilayers and the polymer substrate. We have been successful in preparing samples of those optical disks by ion milling method with dissolution of the polymer substrate in advance. The cross-sectional structure was observed more clearly in this method rather than in ultramicrotome method.
