How to optimize AFM scan parameters

AFM probes of the 36 series have three different Force modulation mode AFM cantilevers on one side of the holder chip. They can be used for various electrical measurements.

AFM probes with overall conductive chemically inert 30 nm Pt coating on the tip and back side of the AFM cantilever. The resulting AFM probe tip radius is about 30 nm.

The 30 nm conductive Pt coating is continuous from the tip end to the bulk of the Silicon chip. The coating covers both the tip and the back side of the AFM cantilever.
