    摘要: A method and apparatus for manipulating the surface of a sample including a cantilever, a first tip mounted on the cantilever, and a second tip mounted on the cantilever, the first and the second tip being configured to combine to form an imaging probe and to separate to form a manipulation probe. The first and second tips are configured to form a first position characterized in that the tips combine to form an imaging tip and the first and the second tip are configured to form a second position characterized in that the tips separate to manipulate particles on a surface of a sample. The tips can be configured to form the first position when a voltage is applied across the tips, and preferable extend downwardly from the cantilever substantially perpendicular thereto.

    摘要: A probe assembly for an instrument and a method of manufacture includes a substrate and a cantilever having a length independent of typical alignment error during fabrication. In one embodiment, the probe assembly includes a buffer section interposed between the substrate and the cantilever. The cantilever extends from the buffer section and a portion of the buffer section extends beyond an edge of the substrate. The portion of the buffer section is more stiff than the cantilever. The corresponding method of producing the probe assembly facilitates batch fabrication without compromising probe performance.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for holding a semiconductor device in a wafer. A bar is connected to the wafer. A first sidewall comprises a first end and a second, and is connected to the bar at its first end. A first tab comprises a first end and a second end, and is connected to the second end of the first sidewall at its first end and connected to the first side of the semiconductor device at its second end. The thickness of the first tab is less than the thickness of the bar and the thickness of the first sidewall.

    摘要: A cantilever-tip assembly for atomic force microscopy (AFM) or other scanning probe microscopy and its method of making based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Two crystalline silicon wafers and attached oxide and nitride layers are bonded together across an intermediate dielectric layer. A thin cantilever with a tetrahedral silicon probe tip at its distal end are formed in one wafer by anisotropic etching of silicon and a support structure is formed in the other wafer to support the proximal end of the cantilever preferably having an inclined face formed by anisotropic silicon etching. The cantilever may be silicon or silicon nitride.

    摘要: Probes for use in a scanning probe microscope and methods of manufacturing such probes. Each probe includes a probe tip having a substantially vertical sidewall formed by an anisotropic etching process and a flared post underlying the probe tip that is formed by an etching process that is not anisotropic. A source gas comprising a bromine-containing gas and an oxygen-containing gas is used to etch the probe tip and flared post of the probe in a batch process. The probe tips may be qualified using any suitable criterion for use by a customer in an atomic force microscope without individual inspection.
