This paper discusses the fabrication of micro holes using FIB direct milling in terms of high aspect ratio structures, including FIB parameters and the major effects of FIB milling.
We tested a performance, resolution and reliability of the FIB-fabricated probe by taking AFM images of the TGQ1 calibration grating (NT MDT Co). A semicontact AFM image of the TGQ1 taken with the FIB-fabricated probe, demonstrating its capability for high spatial reso-lution imaging. The resonance frequency of the new cantilever was
Materials analysis and focused ion beam nanofabrication of topological ...
2017年10月18日 · In our study, we combine transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods–such as energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and selected area diffraction (SAED)–with atomic force microscopy...
In this article, we demonstrate a negligible-damage method of measuring cross sections using a FIB-SEM with- out sacrificing automation and throughput. Critical dimension atomic force microscopy (CD-AFM) is used to calibrate the resist profiles in the absence of electron or ion beam exposure.
FIB 2D patterning is used to pattern a diverse range of materials into dots, lines, and arrays. The 2D pattern densities achieved by FIB milling and electron beam lithography are comparable. Both tech-niques can routinely prepare arrays of cir-cles or …
Advanced fabrication process for combined atomic force-scanning ...
2015年1月1日 · We present a semi-automated fabrication process for combined atomic force-scanning electrochemical microscopy probes. An advanced software-controlled focused ion beam (FIB) patterning enables milling at reduced fabrication time. Different insulation materials are evaluated in terms of their influence on the electrochemical behavior.
FIB Milling and Canneling - 2008 - Wiley Analytical Science
2008年11月1日 · The FIB milled areas were imaged with an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) [10] (Fig. 6). For the three-dimensional quantification of the topography based on AFM images an image analyzing software was used. The mean milling depth of a grain and the true surface area as obtained by triangulation were chosen as topometry parameters.
