[0002] The field of micro / nano technology encompasses numerous processes such as etching, assembly, morphology scanning, and detection of micro / nano components. For example, taking etching as an example, a nanoscale scanning probe interacts with the sample to etch the desired pattern onto the sample. During morphology scanning of micro / nano components, the scanning probe scans the finished micro / nano component to acquire morphology information, thereby detecting the etching effect.

[0003] In related technologies, the main structure of micro-nano fabrication systems applied in the field of micro-nano device processing includes a scanning probe module and a support platform. The scanning probe module is set on the support platform with three-point support. Due to the limited range of movement of the scanning probe module, the actual etchable area and the scanning morphology range are small, which makes it unsuitable for large samples such as wafers. Moreover, when inspecting large wafers, only local operations can be performed, and it is impossible to comprehensively and quickly obtain information about the entire surface of the wafer or etch the entire wafer.

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the micro / nano fabrication and characterization apparatus of this invention includes a frame 1, a support plate 2, a first adjustment platform 3, and a scanning probe module 4. The frame 1 includes a base plate 11, a top plate 12, and a vertical plate disposed between the base plate 11 and the top plate 12. The base plate 11 and the top plate 12 are arranged in parallel. The support plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 11 and is used to support and fix the sample 8. The first adjustment platform 3 is located below the top plate 12. The scanning probe module 4 is located on the first adjustment platform 3 and its height is adjustable. The scanning probe module 4 is used to prepare and characterize the sample 8. The first adjustment platform 3 is used to adjust the position of the scanning probe module 4 relative to the center of the area to be processed on the sample 8.

[0035] In use, the micro / nano fabrication and characterization apparatus of this invention places the sample 8 on the support plate 2 and rotates the support plate 2 to further adjust the position of the sample 8. At the same time, the position of the scanning probe module 4 is adjusted radially in the area to be processed by the first adjustment platform 3, and then the scanning probe module 4 is adjusted in the height direction by the first adjustment platform 3 so that the scanning probe module 4 is positioned to meet the height requirements of the etching or scanning operation. The support plate 2 is rotated, and the etching or scanning operation of the sample 8 is started by the scanning probe module 4. After the area is completed, the above steps are repeated to achieve large-area and continuous etching and scanning operations on the sample 8.

[0036] The micro-nano fabrication and characterization apparatus of this invention removes the positional restriction of the support platform on the scanning probe module 4 by setting the first adjustment platform 3, and adjusts the spatial position of the scanning probe module 4 by the first adjustment platform 3, thereby realizing large-scale and continuous etching or scanning operations on the sample 8, eliminating the problem of missing etching or scanning of the sample 8, and improving the efficiency of micro-nano fabrication and characterization.

[0037] The scanning probe module 4 includes a scanning probe, a scanning probe holder, and a piezoelectric scanner. The scanning probe is mounted on the scanning probe holder, which is mounted on the piezoelectric scanner. The spatial position of the piezoelectric scanner relative to the scanning probe module 4 is adjustable to facilitate the adjustment of the scanning probe's position relative to the sample 8, ensuring the high precision requirements of the scanning probe etching and scanning.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the scanning probe module 4 includes a housing 41 and multiple connecting rods 42. The multiple connecting rods 42 are spaced apart on the housing 41. The connecting rods 42 are provided with connectors 5 that are connected to the first adjustment platform 3. The connectors 5 are used to drive the scanning probe module 4 to move towards or away from the first adjustment platform 3.

[0039] The connecting rod 42 and the connector 5 are provided. The connecting rod 42 extends the housing 41, so that the connection position of the connector 5 and the housing 41 is located at a set distance outside the housing 41. This avoids interference between the connector 5 and the housing 41 when the housing 41 is adjusted, thus avoiding affecting the adjustment range of the connector 5. At the same time, the height of the scanning probe module 4 can be adjusted simultaneously through multiple connectors 5, which is convenient, safe and reliable.

[0040] Optionally, multiple sensors are provided on the housing 41 corresponding to the connecting rod 42, and the tilt angle of the scanning probe module 4 is monitored through the multiple sensors.

[0041] Optionally, the cross-section of the housing 41 is circular, and the connecting rod 42 is disposed at the end of the housing 41 near the first adjusting platform 3; or, the cross-section of the housing 41 is fan-shaped, and some of the connecting rods 42 are disposed at the end of the housing 41 near the first adjusting platform 3, and some of the connecting rods 42 are disposed on the side wall of the housing 41.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are at least three connecting rods 42, which are spaced apart around the housing 41. The at least three connecting rods 42 are used to adjust the tilt angle of the scanning probe module 4.

[0043] At least three connecting rods 42 are provided, and the three connecting rods 42 are arranged on the periphery of the housing. The center of gravity of the scanning probe module 4 is located in the enclosed space where the multiple connecting rods 42 are connected in sequence. The connecting parts 5 are arranged one-to-one with the connecting rods 42. By adjusting any one of the at least three connecting parts 5, the tilt angle and tilt direction of the scanning probe module 4 can be adjusted, which facilitates the adjustment of the working posture of the scanning probe module 4. At the same time, the stability of the connecting rods 42 after being connected to the connecting parts 5 is ensured, and the swaying of the scanning probe module 4 relative to the connection position of the connecting parts 5 and the connecting rods 42 during use is avoided, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the scanning probe module 4 during use.

[0044] Alternatively, the connecting rods 42 may be provided in three, four, five, or six configurations.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connector 5 is made of flexible material. A drum 6 is rotatably mounted on the first adjustment platform 3. The connector 5 is wound around the drum 6. A drive unit (not shown in the figure) is fixedly mounted on the first adjustment platform 3. The drive unit is connected to the drum 6 and drives the drum 6 to rotate to tighten or release the connector 5.

[0046] Specifically, the first adjustment platform 3 is provided with multiple rollers 6 rotatably corresponding to multiple connecting rods 42. The two sides of the rollers 6 are supported and fixed by lugs, and a drive unit is provided on one side of the rollers 6. Optionally, the drive unit is a drive motor. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the rollers 6 through a coupling or gear transmission. The end of the connecting piece 5 wound on the rollers 6 is connected to the connecting rods 42. When multiple drive motors drive the rollers 6 to tighten the connecting piece 5 at the same time, the scanning probe module 4 moves towards the first adjustment platform 3. When multiple drive motors drive the rollers 6 to release the connecting piece 5 at the same time, the scanning probe module 4 moves away from the first adjustment platform 3. When some of the multiple drive motors drive the rollers 6 to tighten or release the connecting piece 5, and some drive motors stop working, or when some of the multiple drive motors drive the rollers 6 to tighten the connecting piece 5, and some motors drive the rollers 6 to release the connecting piece 5, the tilt angle of the scanning probe module 4 can be adjusted.

[0047] By using a flexible material for the connector 5, stress concentration at the connection point between the connecting rod 42 and the connector 5 can be avoided during the adjustment of the tilt angle of the scanning probe module 4, thus preventing damage to the connector 5 or the connecting rod 42. At the same time, the number of turns of the reel 6 for releasing or retracting facilitates the measurement of the distance the scanning probe module 4 moves, making it easier to accurately control the height position of the scanning probe module 4. Furthermore, the flexible connection can reduce the impact force between the scanning probe module 4 and the sample 8 in case of operational errors during adjustment, thus protecting the scanning probe module 4.

[0048] Optionally, connector 5 is a connecting rope or chain.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting rod 42 is provided with a connecting hole 421. The distance from multiple connecting holes 421 to the top surface of the housing 41 is equal. A connecting ring 43 is provided on the connecting hole 421. The connecting ring 43 is connected to the connecting piece 5.

[0050] By setting the connecting hole 421 and the connecting ring 43, the connection between the flexible connector 5 and the connecting rod 42 is facilitated, preventing the connector 5 from twisting or wrapping around the connecting rod 42 during the adjustment of the scanning probe module 4. This ensures the precise adjustment of the scanning probe module 4 and the stability of the scanning probe module 4 during operation. The restriction of the position of the connecting hole 421 on the connecting rod 42 also facilitates the adjustment of the position of the scanning probe module 4 after the initial connection between the connector 5 and the connecting rod 42.

[0051] In some embodiments, the connector 5 is a direct drive module, one end of the connector 5 is fixedly connected to the first adjustment platform 3, and the other end of the connector 5 is hinged to the connecting rod 42.

[0052] By setting the connector 5 as a direct drive module, the connection between the scanning probe module 4 and the first adjustment platform 3 can be strengthened, avoiding delays in the movement of the scanning probe module 4 when the first adjustment platform 3 moves, and preventing the scanning probe module 4 from shaking relative to the first adjustment platform 3 when it reaches the set working position after the first adjustment platform 3 moves, thus facilitating rapid and continuous multi-area operation of the scanning probe module 4.

[0053] Optionally, the connection between the connector 5 and the connecting rod 42 can be a ball joint or a fisheye bearing.

[0054] Optionally, the connector 5 can be an electric telescopic rod, a hydraulic telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod, etc.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first adjustment platform 3 includes a connecting plate 31, a first plate 32, and a second plate 33. The connecting plate 31 is fixedly mounted on the top plate 12. The first plate 32 is adjustable along the first direction and mounted on the connecting plate 31. The second plate 33 is adjustable along the second direction and mounted on the first plate 32. The first and second directions intersect and are parallel to the connecting plate 31 respectively.

[0057] Preferably, the cross-section of the connecting plate 31 is rectangular or square, the first direction is the extension direction of one of the two adjacent sides of the quadrilateral on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 31, and the second direction is the extension direction of the other of the two adjacent sides of the quadrilateral on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 31, that is, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0058] It is understandable that a coordinate system is established on the connecting plate 31 with the first direction as the X-axis and the second direction as the Y-axis. The position of the scanning probe module 4 is adjusted along the X-axis by the first plate 32 and along the Y-axis by the second plate 33. The first adjustment platform 3 is the XY two-degree-of-freedom adjustment platform.

[0059] By adjusting the positions of the first plate 32 and the second plate 33, the position of the scanning probe module 4 relative to the working area of ​​the sample 8 can be adjusted, ensuring the efficiency of the scanning probe module 4 in etching and scanning the sample 8.

[0060] Preferably, the first or second direction is parallel to the extension direction of one of the diameters of the area to be worked on in the sample 8.

[0061] Optionally, the first driving component includes a first adjusting motor, a first gear, and a first rack. The first rack is disposed on the connecting plate 31, the first adjusting motor is disposed on the first plate 32, and the first gear is fixedly disposed at the output end of the first adjusting motor and meshes with the first rack. The first plate 32 moves relative to the connecting plate 31 by driving the first gear to rotate through the first adjusting motor.

[0062] The second driving component includes a second adjusting motor, a second gear, and a second rack. The second rack is mounted on the second plate 33, and the second adjusting motor is mounted on the first plate 32. The second gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second adjusting motor and meshes with the second rack. The second plate 33 moves relative to the first plate 32 by driving the second gear to rotate through the second adjusting motor.

[0063] Optionally, the first driving component is a first linear motor, which is disposed between the connecting plate 31 and the first plate 32 and extends along a first direction. The worktable on the first linear motor is fixedly connected to the first plate 32, and the first linear motor is used to drive the first plate 32 to move relative to the connecting plate 31 along the first direction. The second driving component is a second linear motor, which is disposed between the first plate 32 and the second plate 33 and extends along a second direction. The worktable on the second linear motor is fixedly connected to the second plate 33, and the second linear motor is used to drive the second plate 33 to move relative to the first plate 32 along the second direction.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple first adjustment platforms 3, and the multiple first adjustment platforms 3 are arranged in a ring with the support plates 2 at intervals. The scanning probe module 4 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first adjustment platform 3.

[0065] By setting up multiple first adjustment platforms 3, multiple scanning probe modules 4 can be operated simultaneously, further enabling the preparation and characterization of high-throughput scanning probes, improving the etching or scanning efficiency of the sample 8, and restricting the position of the multiple first adjustment platforms 3 to ensure that the first adjustment platform 3 can adjust the position of the scanning probe module 4 along the diameter extension direction of the area to be worked on the sample 8, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency of the first adjustment platform 3 on the scanning probe module 4 and avoiding interference between adjacent scanning probe modules 4 during the adjustment process.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a second adjustment platform 7, which includes a third plate 71 and a fourth plate 72. The third plate 71 is disposed on the base plate 11 and its position is adjustable along the length direction of the base plate 11. The fourth plate 72 is disposed on the third plate 71 and its position is adjustable along the width direction of the base plate 11. The support plate 2 is rotatably disposed on the fourth plate 72.

[0067] By setting the second adjustment platform 7, the third plate 71 and the fourth plate 72 to move relative to the base plate 11, the position of the support plate 2 relative to the plane of the base plate 11 can be further adjusted, which facilitates etching or scanning of the sample 8.

[0068] It is understandable that a coordinate system is established on the support plate 2 with the length direction of the base plate 11 as the X-axis, the width direction of the base plate 11 as the Y-axis, and the thickness direction of the base plate 11 as the Z-axis. The position of the support plate 2 is adjusted on the X-axis by the third plate 71, and on the Y-axis by the fourth plate 72. The position of the support plate 2 and the sample 8 are adjusted by rotating the support plate 2 relative to the fourth plate 72 around the Z-axis. The second adjustment platform 7 is XYθ.
