Addressing challenges in removing Ni/SiO2/HfO2 layers to enhance TEM imaging quality. Solutions involve dry Ni-InGaAs bonding, protecting Ni with HSQ, and using thicker Ni layers.

PossibleSolutions: Dry the Ni-InGaAs bonding again with the small-window TEM grid, as well as thinner Ni layer that will not react all through the 50nm InGaAs. Writing the fins with HSQ fully cover the Ni to protect it, and use thicker Ni (200 nm).
