HQ:NSC, CSC & XSC

PROBE

The HQ:NSC, HQ:CSC and HQ:XSC probe tips have trihedral shape. There is a wide range of available cantilever geometries and special coatings for tip and cantilever backside.

The highly successful HQ series now extends over all 1-lever, 3-lever and 4-lever probes.

• Typical radius of uncoated tip 8 nm
• Typical spike radius 8 nm
• Spike height
• Resulting tip radius with the coating < 8 nm
• Full tip cone angle* 40°
• Total tip height 12 - 18 µm
• Probe material n-type silicon
• Probe bulk resistivity 0.01 - 0.025 Ohm*cm
• Tip coating
• Detector coating
