ABSTRACTLow density aerogels have numerous unique properties which suggest a number of applications such as ultra high efficiency thermal insulation. However, the commercial viability of these materials has been limited by the high costs associated with drying at high pressures (supercritical), low stability to water vapor, and low mechanical strength. Normally, critical point drying is employed to eliminate the surface tension and hence, the capillary pressure, of the pore fluid to essentially zero. However, we show that by employing a series of aging and surface derivatization steps, the capillary pressure and gel matrix strength may be controlled such that gel shrinkage is minimal during rapid drying at ambient pressure. The properties (density, surface area, pore size, SAXS) of aerogel monoliths prepared from base catalyzed silica gels using this technique, supercritical CO2 drying, and supercritical ethanol drying are compared. An additional advantage of this approach is that the final gels are hydrophobic.

Ultimate resolution in the scanning electron microscope is determined not only by the diameter of the incident electron beam, but by interaction of that beam with the specimen material. Generally, while minimum beam diameter diminishes with increasing voltage, due to the reduced effect of aberration component and magnetic interference, the excited volume within the sample increases with electron energy. Thus, for any given material and imaging signal, there is an optimum volt age to achieve best resolution.In the case of organic materials, which are in general of low density and electric ally non-conducting; and may in addition be susceptible to radiation and heat damage, the selection of correct operating parameters is extremely critical and is achiev ed by interative adjustment.

Due to the wealth of information, both analytical and structural that can be obtained from it TEM always has been a favorite tool for the analysis of process-induced defects in semiconductor wafers. The only major disadvantage has always been, that the volume under study in the TEM is relatively small, making it difficult to locate low density defects, and sample preparation is a somewhat lengthy procedure. This problem has been somewhat alleviated by the availability of efficient low angle milling.Using a PIPS® variable angle ion -mill, manufactured by Gatan, we have been consistently obtaining planar specimens with a high quality thin area in excess of 5 × 104 μm2 in about half an hour (milling time), which has made it possible to locate defects at lower densities, or, for defects of relatively high density, obtain information which is statistically more significant (table 1).
