화학적 성분 분석능력을 가진 원자 현미경의 제작 = A micromachined cantilever for chemically sensitive scanning force microscope applications

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper describes a novel concept of a chemically sensitive scanning force microscope (CS-SFM). It consists of the conventional SFM and the time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS). A switchable cantilever (SC) fabricated by the micromachining technology combines each advantage of two completely different systems, SFM and TOF-MS. The CS-SFM offers to produce both images of topography and chemical information simultaneously. First we employed a rotatable tip holder based on 4 piezotube actuators for demonstration of the possibility of the CS-SFM concept. Second the CS-SFM concept is optimized with the micromachining technology. The micromachined SC with an integrated bimorph actuator and a piezoresistive strain sensor provides a reasonable switching speed of -10 ms which is very attractive for the CS-SFM application. The SC is currently being integrated in an ultra-high-vacuum system to perform various experiments.
