Pd electrodeposits have been examined using cross-section TEM. It is observed that the Pd consists of columnar grains whose grain boundary planes are parallel to the thickness of the deposit. The grains consist primarily of parallel twins and exhibit a [110] crystallographic texture. The grain width increases with deposit thickness and decreases with plating bath pH> FIB specimen preparation techniques are shown to be suitable for cross-section TEM examination.
