As semiconductor devices shrink down to 20nm and below, the required imaging and analysis become more critical and challenging. To support the analytical purposes, the Nanoprobing (Figure 1) from SEM/AFM system provides the capability of direct measurement for Nano-device. We postulate the uniqueness [1] for the link in between electrical Nanoprobing and physical Nanoscopy & Nanoanalysis. Regar...

With the progress in fabricating more energy efficient and sustainable devices, an increased need for advanced materials and processing techniques arises that becomes increasingly challenging and demands for new analysis techniques. In particular excellent spatial resolution together with high-sensitivity chemical information at the nanoscale are of utmost importance for future developments [1]...

Many kinds of venomous principles modulate physiological responses of mammalian signal transduction systems, on which they act selectively as enhancers, inhibitors or some other kind of effectors. These toxins become useful tools for physiological research. We have employed and characterized paralyzing toxins from the venom of spiders, insects and scorpions with a limited supply. We have develo...

Graphene is an almost ideal two-dimensional system. Unlike other two-dimensional electron gas systems realized in silicon or gallium arsenide, the electron wave functions are very close to the surrounding environment. While this causes problems in trying to passivate the surface without reducing the mobility, it does allow direct electrical access to the two-dimensional surface states using sca...

The development, optimization and application of new geopolymer composite materials must necessarily go through a precise accurate physico-chemical mineralogical characterization down to the micro nanoscale. In this regard, SEM-EDS X-ray microanalysis is widely successfully employed by scientific community industry. However, nano-to-micrometre sized architecture many composites introduces diffi...
