An advanced 3D sample preparation technique is utilized to prepare TEM lamellas for tracing the partial dislocation site by plan view and observing the details and failure types by further cross-section milling. Primary twins which twin with Σ = 3, (11 1} are the major structural defects in STI structure. These instructions give you basic guidelines for preparing your manuscript for IPFA 2013 proceedings.
