Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] This invention relates to microscopic instruments for precision surface analysis, in particular a scanning probe microscope. Background technique
[0002] Scanning probe microscopy is a morphology characterization instrument, which has the advantage of low requirements on the sample environment and can observe the sample surface at the nanoscale with high resolution. The scanning probe microscope in the prior art is divided into two modes according to the mode of interaction between the probe and the surface of the sample to be observed: one is a contact mode, and the other is a non-contact mode.
[0003] The scanning probe microscope in contact mode uses the short-range interatomic repulsion interaction between the tip and the sample to image. The tip is located under the top of the "V"-shaped microcantilever made by photolithography. Small, generally less than 30nm, it can detect long-range forces such as magnetic force, electrostatic force and van ...
