SPM Probes   Conductive  

DPE

Options

Probe
TEM micrograph of the DPE probe tip end  

Probes of the DPE series has a special structure of conducting layers applied to the tip that provides better signat to noise ratio on the scans of electric properties.

Resulting tip radius with the coating
35 nm

Full tip cone angle*
40°

Total tip height
20..25 µm

Probe bulk material
n-type silicon (phosphorus doped).

*The full cone angle may be less than 40° at the last 200 nm of the tip end.

Application

DPE probe is a compromize between the signal to noise ratio on the maps of electric properties and the resolution of topography images. The probes can be used in electric AC modes when a study of the electric properties of a sample has higher priority. This is demonstrated in AM-FM images of a fluoroalkane layer.
