SPM Probes   Long Scanning  

NSC/CSC

Options
Probe
The probe has a conical shape. Si3N4 coating is applied to both sides of the the cantilevers. The thickness of the coating is 10 nm. Si3N4 is a chemically inert and more hydrophobic than Si with natural oxide layer.

Resulting tip radius with the coating
20 nm

Full tip cone angle*
40°

Tip aspect ratio
more than 3:1 (4:1 typical)

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.
