چکیده

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is one of the most important tools for measuring atomic resolution. The AFM system maintains constant force between a tip and the sample in order to track the sample topography. The controller that maintains the constant interaction force plays a significant role in measurement accuracy. This paper presents a μ-synthesis controller design to deal with model uncertainty and establish a measurement error bound. The system’s nonlinearity and the set-point drift are lumped into a multiplicative uncertainty. The performance bound allows specification of the error magnitude over the frequency range. Simulation results show that the proposed control can tolerate uncertainties. The error spectrum from the experiments shows consistency with the design specifications. Images were taken to compare μ-synthesis control with a well-tuned PID control at a 480μm/s scan rate. The results verify the outstanding performance of the μ-

High performance feedback for fast scanning atomic force microscopes

We identify the dynamics of an atomic force microscope ~AFM! in order to design a feedback controller that enables faster image acquisition at reduced imaging error compared to the now generally employed proportional integral differential ~PID! controllers. First, a force model for the tip–sample interaction in an AFM is used to show that the dynamic behavior of the cantilever working in contac...
