Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor testing, in particular to a probe device of an atomic force microscope. Background technique
[0002] Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has been widely used in the testing of semiconductor samples. Its working principle is to study the extremely weak interatomic interaction force between the surface of the sample to be tested and a miniature force sensitive element (probe). The surface structure and properties of matter. Generally speaking, the probe includes a needle tip and a micro-cantilever. The end of the micro-cantilever, which is extremely sensitive to weak force, is fixed on the probe base, and the tip of the micro-cantilever is close to the surface of the sample. When the distance between the needle tip and the sample surface is very small, there will be very weak attraction or repulsion between their atoms, which will cause the deformation of the micro-cantilever or the change of the ...
