摘要
Nanomachining and beam-assisted Pt deposition by a focused ion beam (FIB) was used to modify AFM probes for improved electric force measurements.. Si3N4 cantilevers have been endowed with a nano-electrode at the tip apex to confine the electro-sensitive area at the very tip. This action results in both a marked decrease of the parasitic capacitive effect and in an improved electric force microscopy (EFM) contrast and resolution, with respect to usual, full metal-coated cantilevers. This fabrication approach is suited to the development of innovative electro-sensitive probes, useful in different scanning probe techniques. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
