Abstract

The practical details are presented for preparing cross-sectional samples of semiconductor epitaxial layers by cleaving. Examples of results are shown and a number of possible applications for the samples are discussed. A variation of the method can be used to prepare a TEM sample of a high Tc superconductor.
