Abstract
Description
【Technical field】
[0001] The invention relates to an atomic force microscope (Atomic Force Microscopy, hereinafter referred to as AFM) probe device and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to an atomic force microscope probe device using carbon nanotubes as needle tips and a manufacturing method thereof. 【Background technique】
[0002] In recent years, with the increase in density and integration of devices such as optical disks, magnetic recording, and semiconductors, the application range of AFM, which measures the surface morphology of samples with sub-nanometer precision, has been expanding. It works by exploiting the force-distance dependence between its probe and sample to obtain material surface structures and properties. A typical AFM has three imaging modes: contact, non-contact, and tapping. The probe is the core component of AFM, which is expensive and easily damaged.
[0003] Taking advantage of the good elasticity and tip properties of carbon nanotube...
