We start with the well established Scanning Probes (single crystal silicon/silicon nitride). Using our patented technique, we modify the tip and deposit the "high dense carbon (HDC)" material to the very end of it.
You have therefore the flexibility to choose the cantilever you like, whatever AFM you are running, whatever scanning mode you are working in. Probe handling, beam adjustments, signal strength, force constants is all defined by the cantilever - and remains the same if you stay with your well proofen choice.
| | |  | | | That's why for a nanotools probe you have to select both, the tip (the nanotools process) and the cantilever.
| Note: |
To find quickly the ideal combination that matches your
individual needs, you only need to follow these 3 steps:
|
|
| |
Step 1: |
Make the choice of tip by clicking on the requested type. That will lead you automatically to --> |

Step 2: |
shortlist of cantilever. Choose again and you will get to -->

Features
nanotools tips offer you two in one:
- extreme durability of diamond like sensors
- high resolution imaging, at least comparable to that of the very best silicon AFM sensors.
The tips can be used as any other AFM probe in all scanning applications. They reduce maintenance time and cost and make AFM reliable.
Benchmarking in AFM: they represent the highest standard in tip quality available today.
Because of:
- their extreme aspect ratio
- their super sharp tips
- the outperforming tip lifetime.
Material
The nanotool tip is produced by an electron beam induced deposition (EBD), Organic molecules including precursors from a well defined gas atmosphere polymerize and form the structure required.
This HDC material consists mainly of an amorphous carbon matrix including diamond or metal like nano-crystallites. Because of its strong covalent C-C bonds, partly sp2 and sp3 hybridized, HDC is ideal for nanotechnology and for scanning probe applications:
- hardness is comparable to that of diamond, but not brittle like crystalline material
- hydrophobic
- inert against most chemicals (acids, basics, solvent, salty aqueous solutions,…)
- inert against most dry etch residuals (fluorine, chlorine,...).
Tip Product Lines
- Universal: excellent results in almost all AFM applications
- Super Sharp: drastically improved resolution
- T-EAR: enabling high vertical and lateral resolution
- Special: every cantilever system, customer specific geometries and specifications, spherical tips.
