    摘要: A probe needle is successively moved to a plurality of measurement points set in a measurement region on a sample so as to measure a z-displacement amount. An excitation control unit feedback-controls a piezoelectric element so that a vibration amplitude of a cantilever is constant in accordance with the detection output by a displacement detection unit. Moreover, a vertical displacement control unit feedback-controls a vertical position scan unit so as to obtain a constant distance between the probe needle and the sample according to a frequency shift by a frequency detection unit. When changes of outputs of two feedback loops at a certain measurement point are both within a predetermined range, a main control unit issues an instruction to a horizontal position control unit to rapidly move to the next measurement point. As a result, it is possible to adaptively decide such a measurement time that both of the two feedback controls at respective measurement points are established. This eliminates an unnecessary measurement time, which in turn reduces the time required for creating one convex/concave image as compared to the conventional technique and improves the throughput.

    摘要: Above the sample (9) having magnetic domains, a distribution of magnetic force in a measurement plane (91) is obtained as a magnetic force image with use of a MFM, an auxiliary magnetic force image is obtained by performing measurement in a measurement plane (92) away from the measurement plane (91) by a minute distance d, and a difference between them is divided by the minute distance d to obtain a magnetic force gradient image. The magnetic force image and the auxiliary magnetic force image are Fourier transformed and substituted into a three-dimensional field obtaining equation derived from a general solution of the Laplace equation, and the three-dimensional field indicating the magnetic force is obtained with high accuracy. A state of the magnetic domains at the surface (93) of the sample (9) can be obtained with high accuracy by obtaining the three-dimensional field. The three-dimensional field obtaining method using the three-dimensional field obtaining equation can be used for various fields of magnetic, electric, temperature and gravity potential and so on satisfying the Laplace equation. The obtaining of the three-dimensional field can be extended to obtaining of an n-dimensional field having high-dimension.

    摘要: A method for measuring surface properties according to the present invention includes the steps of: with distance control feedback applied so that a desired physical quantity to be measured that is attributed to an interaction between a probe and a sample is actually measured while changing a measured distance between the probe and the sample in accordance with a relationship between the desired physical quantity and the measured distance, (i) setting a set value, corresponding to the desired physical quantity, which serves to change the measured distance; and (ii) recording, for each set value thus set, a relationship between the measured distance changed by the set value set in the step (i) and a physical quantity measured with the probe and the sample placed at that measured distance. This allows precise and quick measurement of a physical quantity even in a region where the probe and the sample are very close to each other, while avoiding a collision between them.

    摘要: A totally new method for manufacturing a thin film wherein only an arbitrary small region is structurally controlled. The structure of a film is controlled by applying a force to the entire film or an arbitrary region of the film using a part having a sharp tip during the film-forming process or after finishing the film formation. At this time, the temperature of the film is set at the glass transition point of the amorphous region or higher. An atomic force microscope can be used as an apparatus for realizing this manufacturing method.

    摘要: A method of detecting the distribution of values of a physical property such as the dopant concentration of a semiconductor without being adversely affected by stray capacitance is offered. A scanning probe microscope capable of implementing this method is also offered. The method starts with applying an AC voltage of angular frequency &ohgr; between a probe and a sample from a fixed oscillator. The output from the oscillator is supplied to a piezoelectric device that drives the cantilever. The cantilever produces a deflection signal corresponding to forces corresponding to interactions between the probe and sample. A signal regarding the amplitude is extracted from the deflection signal. This signal is fed back to a means for controlling the distance between the probe and sample and supplied to a display device. As a result, an image of the surface topography of the sample is obtained. A harmonic component having a frequency higher than the triple or more of the angular frequency &ohgr; and contained in the cantilever deflection signal is extracted by a lock-in amplifier. As a result, information representing an image of differential capacitance (∂C/∂V) is obtained.
