Abstract

Provided is an AFM probe array integrated with ultrasonic energy transducer. The AFM probe array includes a base which is rectangular in shape; a plurality of micro-cantilevers which are connected with one side edge of the base, and a plurality of ultrasonic energy transducers, wherein each micro-cantilever is provided with a needle tip, the ultrasonic energy transducers are arranged on the back sides of the micro-cantilevers or the back side of the base, and the micro-cantilevers and the ultrasonic energy transducers form the probe array. The probe integrated with the ultrasonic energy transducers solves the problem of inside imaging of samples, and the array type probe structure improves the imaging speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of atomic force microscope and ultrasonic detection, in particular to an AFM probe array integrating ultrasonic transducers. Background technique [0002] In 1986, G.Binnig and C.F.Quate successfully developed the atomic force microscope (Atom Force Microscope, AFM). AFM uses the interaction force between atoms to detect the surface morphology of samples, and can realize the atomic-level observation of the surface of conductors, semiconductors and insulator materials. However, the traditional AFM technology cannot detect the structural information inside the sample, and can only perform surface imaging analysis. Therefore, it is necessary to seek other means to detect the internal structural information of the sample. In addition, AFM imaging speed is also very important, and a single AFM probe scanning limits the imaging speed. [0003] Ultrasonic imaging technology uses ultrasonic signals to reflect when they prop...
