Abstract:
A method and apparatus for material deposition onto a sample to form a protective layer composed of at least two materials that have been formulated and arranged according to the material properties of the sample.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of charged particle beam processing of a work piece to expose for observation a region of interest, comprising:\n providing a precursor gas at the work piece surface; directing a charged particle beam toward the substrate to induce deposition from the precursor gas of a protective layer above the region of interest, the protective layer being composed of at least two different materials having different sputter rates; and directing a charged particle beam toward the substrate to mill through the protective layer to expose the region of interest below the protective layer.
