    • In the case of measuring a pattern having a steep side wall, a probe adheres to the side wall by the van der Waals forces acting between the probe and the side wall when approaching the pattern side wall, and an error occurs in a measured profile of the side wall portion. When a pattern having a groove width almost equal to a probe diameter is measured, the probe adheres to both side walls, the probe cannot reach the groove bottom, and the groove depth cannot be measured. When the probe adheres to a pattern side wall in measurements of a microscopic high-aspect ratio pattern using an elongated probe, the probe is caused to reach the side wall bottom by detecting the adhesion of the probe to the pattern side wall, and temporarily increasing a contact force between the probe and the sample. Also, by obtaining the data of the amount of torsion of a cantilever with the shape data of the pattern, a profile error of the side wall portion by the adhesion is corrected by the obtained data of the amount of torsion.
    • 在测量具有陡峭侧壁的图案的情况下,当接近图案侧壁时,探针通过作用在探针和侧壁之间的范德华力附着在侧壁上,并且在测量的轮廓中发生错误 侧壁部分。 当测量具有几乎等于探针直径的槽宽度的图案时,探针粘附到两个侧壁,探针不能到达凹槽底部,并且不能测量凹槽深度。 当使用细长的探针测量微观高纵横比图案时探头粘附到图案侧壁上时,通过检测探针与图案侧壁的粘附力使探针到达侧壁底部,并暂时增加 探针和样品之间的接触力。 此外,通过利用图案的形状数据获得悬臂的扭转量的数据,通过获得的扭转量的数据来校正侧壁部分的粘附的轮廓误差。

    • A method for commanding a tip of a probe is disclosed, wherein a command signal, representative of the force applied by said tip on the surface of a sample to be analyzed, includes at least one cycle successively defined by: a first step where the value of said command signal decreases from a maximum value (Smax) to a minimum value (Smin) so as to move said tip away from said surface at a predetermined distance called detachment height; a second step where the value of the command signal is maintained constant at said minimum value so as to maintain the tip at said detachment height; a third step where the value of the command signal increases from the minimum value up to said maximum value so as to bring the tip closer towards the surface to be analyzed until the tip comes into contact with the surface; and a fourth step where the value of the command signal is maintained constant at said maximum value to maintain the tip in contact with the surface to be analyzed under a constant force between the tip and the surface to be analyzed; the command signal being controlled between two successive steps to avoid any oscillation of the tip.

    • An atomic force microscope is described having a cantilever comprising a base and a probe tip on an end opposite the base; a cantilever drive device connected to the base; a magnetic material coupled to the probe tip, such that when an incrementally increasing magnetic field is applied to the magnetic material an incrementally increasing force will be applied to the probe tip; a moveable specimen base; and a controller constructed to obtain a profile height of a specimen at a point based upon a contact between the probe tip and a specimen, and measure an adhesion force between the probe tip and the specimen by, under control of a program, incrementally increasing an amount of a magnetic field until a release force, sufficient to break the contact, is applied. An imaging method for atomic force microscopy involving measuring a specimen profile height and adhesion force at multiple points within an area and concurrently displaying the profile and adhesion force for each of the points is also described. A microscope controller is also described and is constructed to, for a group of points, calculate a specimen height at a point based upon a cantilever deflection, a cantilever base position and a specimen piezo position; calculate an adhesion force between a probe tip and a specimen at the point by causing an incrementally increasing force to be applied to the probe tip until the probe tip separates from a specimen; and move the probe tip to a new point in the group.
