Applications

How to optimize AFM scan parameters

The PointProbe® Plus (PPP) combines high application versatility and compatibility with most commercial SPMs. The typical AFM tip radius of less than 7 nm and the minimized variation in AFM tip shape provide reproducible images and enhanced resolution.

NANOSENSORS™ PPP-NCSTR AFM probes are designed for non-contact or soft tapping mode imaging. The combination of soft AFM cantilever and fairly high resonance frequency enables stable and fast measurements with reduced tip-sample interaction. This feature significantly reduces AFM tip wear and sample wear at the same time.

The AFM probe offers unique features:

excellent AFM tip radius of curvature
highly doped silicon to dissipate static charge
Al coating on detector side of AFM cantilever
chemically inert
high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity

This AFM probe features alignment grooves on the back side of the holder chip.

The reflective coating is an approximately 30 nm thick aluminum coating on the detector side of the AFM cantilever which enhances the reflectivity of the laser beam by a factor of about 2.5. Furthermore it prevents light from interfering within the AFM cantilever. As the coating is nearly stress-free the bending of the AFM cantilever due to stress is less than 2 degrees.
