2 Recap Characterization of MEMS Motivation Principles of optics Tools for optical characterization Microscope Ellipsometer Profilometer

3 Today s Class Scanning Probe Microscopy based tools: STM and AFM Methods for characterization of mechanical properties

4 Limitations of Microscope Q: is it possible to increase the magnification of microscope indefinitely and expect improved resolution?? Minimum resolution possible is comparable with wavelength of light

5 SPM: STM and AFM STM invented in early 80s by Binnig and Rohrer. Real limitations: only used to image conducting materials. Cannot distinguish between atoms of different elements within a compound material.

6 STM: Fundamentals

7 STM: Fundamentals Tip Cantilever Electron Tunneling Surface University of Southampton Surface Science Group Tunneling current at distance about 10A Two methods Constant current mode Constant height mode: faster Remarkable sensitivity: current being exponential function of distance (1A change order of magnitude change in current) Measures surface of constant tunneling probability Surface has small area oxidized?? Valid for conductors only

8 STM Image STM image of copper and nickel atoms

9 AFM: Fundamentals Force Sample Contact Repulsive Tip-sample separation Attractive Non-Contact Force of interaction between molecules Tip <100A in dia Scanning of sample or tip to generate image Van der Waals forces between tip and sample Contact: few A, noncontact: A Force balance in contact regime? Additional force: Capillary force + cantilever force = repulsive VW force ( N) Detection using photodiodes

10 AFM: Operation Contact Mode Constant-height Fast speeds Atomic scale images Constant-force: cantilever deflection used as feedback to adjust z to maintain deflection constant Speed of scanning is limited Scan path Sample Non-Contact mode / tapping mode

11 AFM: Operation Non-Contact mode / tapping mode Vibration of AFM cantilever near surface of a sample Total force: N very small Stiffer cantilevers necessary Operation near resonance frequency (typically KHz), amplitude A Change in the resonance frequency during scanning of sample Control can be used to keep resonance amplitude or freq constant Soft samples can be probed in this mode

12 AFM: Operation Other modes MFM: magnetic force microscopy LFM: lateral force microscopy EFM: Electrostatic force microscopy TSM: Thermal scanning microscopy NSOM: Near field scanning optical microscopy Nanolithography
