PA series

Sample for characterization of AFM tip shape with hard sharp pyramidal nanostructures. The pyramids are triangular with base length in the range 50 – 100 nm and height 50 – 150 nm. The radius of curvature of the sharpest edges is below 5 nm.
The structures of the PA01 are covered by a highly wear-resistant layer.
Part number | Pyramid base, nm | Pyramid height, nm | Smallest edge radii, nm | Active area, mm x mm | Chip dimensions, mm x mm |
PA01 | 50 - 100 | 50 - 150 | < 5 | 5 x 5 | 5 x 5 x 0.7 |

Application
The exact shape of the AFM probe tip is very important for obtaining AFM images of high quality and accuracy. As new AFM tips with nanometer radii of curvature become widespread, periodic structures that have surface features of similar or greater sharpness should be used to estimate the parameters of the AFM tip.
An AFM image of the PA01 structures is shown below. The AFM image is obtained using an OPUS 240AC-NA AFM probe.
