    摘要: A scanning probe microscope provided with a cantilever 21 having a probe 20 facing a sample 12, a measurement unit 24 measuring a physical quantity occurring between the probe and sample, and movement mechanisms 11, 29 changing a positional relationship between the probe and sample to cause a scanning operation and making the probe scan the surface of the sample by the movement mechanism and measure the surface of the sample by the measurement unit. This method is provided with a step of feeding the probe in a direction along the surface of the sample at a position separate from the surface at certain distances, a step of making the probe approach the sample at each of a plurality of measurement points determined at certain distances and perform measurement to obtain measurement values, then retract, and a step setting a measurement point at a position between a certain measurement point and next measurement point for measurement when a difference between a measurement value at the certain measurement point and a measurement value at the next measurement point is larger than a reference value.

    摘要: A scanning probe microscope has a cantilever with a probe facing a sample and a measurement section for measuring a physical quantity occurring between the probe and the sample when the probe scans a surface of the sample, holding the physical quantity constant to measure the surface of the sample. The above microscope further has a probe tilt mechanism, an optical microscope etc. for detecting a position of the probe when the probe is tilted, and a control section for setting the probe in a first tilt posture and second tilt posture, measuring a surface of the sample by the measurement section at each tilt posture, detecting the position of the probe at least at the second tilt posture by the optical microscope etc., and making a measurement location at the second tilt posture match with a measurement location at the first tilt posture for measurement.
