| The probe has a conical shape. The Ti-Pt
coating consists of a 10-nm Pt layer on a 20-nm Ti sublayer, which
increases adhesion and electromigration firmness of Pt. The Ti-Pt
coating is formed on both tip and reflective side of the cantilever.
Resulting tip radius with the coating 40.0 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.
