AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
The atomic force microscope (AFM) is limited in imaging speed by the bandwidth and dynamic behavior of the actuators and mechanical parts. For high-speed imaging all AFM components have to be optimized in performance. Here, we present improvements of the f ...
Due to the importance of scanning tunneling microscopy for atomic scale research the anomalously high corrugation values on close packed metal surfaces have been the subject of debate and extensive theoretical work in the past two decades. To date it remai ...
Scanning capacitance microscopy and electrostatic force microscopy have been used to characterize commercial semiconductor devices at various stages of the fabrication process. These methods, combined with conventional atomic force microscopy, allow to vis ...
A dual-axis, raster-scanning laser display based on a monolithic micromachined scanner is presented. The scanner consists of a mirror located at the end of a thermally actuated bimorph beam. The novelty of the device is that the two orthogonal angular moti ...
Conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) was used to study the dielectric breakdown of SiO/sub 2/ layers at a nanometric scale. First, bare oxide regions were stressed and broken down using the tip as the metal electrode of a MOS structure. The results s ...
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is used in situ to study threading dislocation terminations at the surface of GaN grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a Si(111) surface. The associated surface depressions are imaged at the nanometer scale, giving a new i ...
We develop wear resistant, electrically conducting AFM probes. Here, we describe a new AFM probe made entirely out of tungsten (W). The fabrication involves microfabrication techniques such as surface moulding, thin-film structuring of tungsten and high as ...
Recently electrically conducting SPM probes were used as read/write sensor of magneto-resistive nanopillars and ferroelectric domains in the development of >1 Tb/inch2 data storage. Since metal coated (platinum (Pt) or Pt/iridium) silicon (Si) probes are n ...
An array of exchange biased spin-valve giant-magnetoresistance nanopillars was fabricated and the current I dependence of the resistance R was investigated using an electrically conducting atomic-force microscope (AFM) probe contact at room temperature. We ...
The fabrication and application of photoplastic scanning force microscopy (SFM) probes has been demonstrated. Simple molding and replication techniques, inexpensive photoplastic material, reusable molds and several layers per probe make it a very attractiv ...
