    摘要: AFM tweezers includes: a first probe that comprises a triangular prism member having a ridge, a tip of which is usable as a probe tip in a scanning probe microscope; a second probe that comprises a triangular prism member provided so as to open/close with respect to the first probe. The first probe and the second probe are juxtaposed such that a predetermined peripheral surface of the triangular prism member of the first probe and a predetermined peripheral surface of the triangular prism member of the second probe face substantially in parallel to each other, and the first probe formed of a notch that prevents interference with a sample when the sample is scanned by the tip of the ridge.

    摘要: Under the condition that the height is fixed at a target height by turning off a feedback control system of a Z piezoelectric actuator of a cantilever of an atomic force microscope having a probe, which is harder than a processed material, flexure and twisting of the cantilever when carrying out mechanical processing while selectively repeating scanning only on the processed area (in the case of detecting flexure, parallel with the cantilever and in the case of detecting twisting, vertical with the cantilever) is monitored by a quadrant photodiode position sensing detector and the processing is repeated till a flexure amount or a twisting amount, namely, till an elastic deformation amount of the cantilever becomes not more than a determined threshold. It is not necessary to carry out scanning of the observation in obtaining the height information for detection of an end point, so that it is possible to improve a throughput of processing.

    摘要: A scanning type microscope that captures substance information of the surface of a specimen by the tip end of a nanotube probe needle fastened to a cantilever, in which an organic gas is decomposed by a focused ion beam in a focused ion beam apparatus, and the nanotube is bonded to the cantilever with a deposit of the decomposed component thus produced. With this probe, the quality of the nanotube probe needle can be improved by removing an unnecessary deposit adhering to the nanotube tip end portion using a ion beam, by cutting an unnecessary part of the nanotube in order to control length of the probe needle and by injecting ions into the tip end portion of the nanotube.

    摘要: A scanning probe microscope uses a conductive material as a probe of AFM. The probe scans a sample while the probe is forcibly oscillated by applying alternating current voltage from an oscillator between the probe and the sample. Signals .omega. and 2.omega. from the probe are extracted with an analog processor using a discrete Fourier transformation, so that distribution of surface potential of the sample is obtained using the signals .omega. and 2.omega..

    摘要: In a tunneling unit of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), a rough feed mechanism for approaching a sample and a probe to a tunnel area is disposed separately (or is provided to a stage on a sample side, for example), a fine movement element block is formed as a separate unit and the tunnel unit main body is made compact and provided with high rigidity so that it can be mounted to an optical microscope or a laser microscope. If the fine movement element block of the tunnel unit is mounted to a revolver of an optical microscope or the like, rotation positioning accuracy of the revolver is a few microns. Therefore, high precision positioning of the position to be observed by STM can be attained by optical means and measurement having high resolution in an nm order can be conducted by use of STM. Since STM can be mounted to an existing apparatus in accordance with the present invention, measurement accuracy can be improved drastically and the invention is extremely useful industrially.
