摘要
In this study we demonstrate the structure of a new dynamic force microscope (DFM) compatible with full wafer inspection. It is a tip-scanning-type DFM based on a piezoelectric micro-cantilever integrated with a conical tip as a force sensor. The piezoelectric micro-force sensor is mounted on top of a tube scanner. The sample is put on the sample stage facing the tip. The novel DFM has proven to be stable for probing the surface of full wafers with a vertical resolution of about 0.12 nm. The design and performance of the novel tip scanning DFM is explained in detail in this report.
