摘要:
The present invention realizes a probe for a scanning type microscope by which the quality of a nanotube probe needle can be improved by means of fastening and cutting the nanotube probe needle, furthermore by means of implanting ions of another element. For the object, a probe for a scanning type microscope produced by a focusing ion beam related to the present invention is characterized in that, in a probe for a scanning type microscope which captures substance information of the surface of a specimen by the tip end 14a of a nanotube probe needle 12 fastened to a cantilever 4, an organic gas G is decomposed by a focused ion beam I in a focused ion beam apparatus 2, and the nanotube 12 is bonded to the cantilever 4 with a deposit of the decomposed component thus produced. Furthermore, the present invention provides a probe for a scanning type microscope by which the quality of the nanotube probe needle can be improved by means of removing an unnecessary deposit 24 adhering to the nanotube tip end portion 14 using a ion beam I, by means of cutting an unnecessary part of the nanotube in order to control length of the probe needle and by means of injecting ions into the tip end portion 14 of the nanotube.
摘要:
The present invention realizes a probe for a vertical scanning type microscope in which a tip end of a nanotube serving as a probe is caused to abut substantially perpendicularly against the surface of a specimen and can detect surface information of a specimen at a high sensitivity. In order to accomplish the object, in a probe 20 for a scanning type microscope which captures substance information of the surface of a specimen 24 by the tip end of a nanotube probe needle fastened to a cantilever 2, a probe for a vertical scanning type microscope related to the present invention is characterized in that a fixing region, to which the base end portion 14 of a nanotube 12 is fastened, is provided in a cantilever 2 and when the cantilever 2 is set in a measuring state with respect to a mean surface 26 of a specimen, height direction of the above described fixing region is set up substantially perpendicular to the mean surface 26 of the specimen and the base end portion 14 of the nanotube 12 is bonded in the height direction of the fixing region.
