The deepness enhancing of an AFM-tip induced surface nanomodification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The novel method of the semiconductor nanostructuring (TINE&MEMO) has been developed on the base of the simultaneous AFM-tip induced local anodic oxidation and mechanical modification of the surface under the applying of advanced electric potentials. The TINE&MEMO-based technology allows obtaining the principle new scale of the depth up to 100 nm for the nanostructure fabrication with a low aspect relation between the width and deepness. The developed nanoscale AFM-lithography has been clearly demonstrated on titanium, gallium arsenide and silicon substrates for creation of electronic nanodevices. # 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Atomic Force Microscopy Application in Biological Research: A Review Study
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a three-dimensional topographic technique with a high atomic resolution to measure surface roughness. AFM is a kind of scanning probe microscope, and its near-field technique is based on the interaction between a sharp tip and the atoms of the sample surface. There are several methods and many ways to modify the tip of the AFM to investigate surface properties, ...
متن کاملAtomic Force Microscopy Study of Biaxially-Oriented Polypropylene Films
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) uses a very sharply pointed mechanical probe to collect real-space morphological information of solid surfaces. AFM was used to image the surface morphology of a biaxially-oriented polypropylene film. The polymer film is characterized by a nanometer-scale fiber-like network structure, which reflects the drawing process used during the fabrication of the film. Polym...

Scanning Impedance Microscopy (SIM) is one of the novel scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques, which has been developed to taking image from sample surface, providing quantitative information with high lateral resolution on the interface capacitance, and investigating the local capacitance–voltage (C–V) behavior of the interface and AC transport properties. The SIM is an ordinary AFM equip...

متن کاملDefect-induced perturbations of atomic monolayers on solid surfaces.
We study long-range morphological changes in atomic monolayers on solid substrates induced by different types of defects; e.g., by monoatomic steps in the surface, or by the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM), placed at some distance above the substrate. Representing the monolayer in terms of a suitably extended Frenkel-Kontorova-type model, we calculate the defect-induced density profiles...
