Guide for Test Marketing Release of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) SPM Probes
UNISOKU has successfully grown CNT on nickel probes and cantilevers by CVD. This has allowed us to maintain conductivity*1 and reduce the separation at the CNT-probe interface.
CNT Probe Line-up
Nickel STM Probe with CNT
Specification
Multiple structurally and chemically stable carbon nanotubes are grown on a Ni probe. |
|---|
Characteristics
| Allows reliable STM measurements to be carried out. |
|---|
Nickel Contact Probe with CNT
Specification
Probes with a single carbon nanotube at the tip are selected from Ni probes on which CNT have been grown. |
|---|
Characteristics
High aspect ratio and rigidity, enabling nano-order probing. |
|---|
AFM Cantilever with CNT
Cantilever Body
Budget Sensors Co.Tap 300 Al-G

Specification
| CNT are grown on an over-the-counter Si cantilever. |
|---|
Characteristics
High resolution and durability. Because magnetic metals are included, it can also be used for MFM.*2 |
