Enhanced Spatial Resolution Scanning Kelvin Force Microscopy Using Conductive Carbon Nanotube Tips

Abstract
The response of a scanning Kelvin force microscope (SKFM) was measured with conventional micromachined silicon tips coated with Au and with advanced tips terminated with a carbon nanotube (CNT). A simple model of the SKFM predicts enhanced spatial resolution of SKFM using a CNT terminated tip because it reduces the stray capacitance components due to the tip shank and the cantilever. Measurements over abrupt boundaries between Au and silicon (with a thin silicon dioxide overlayer) show the predicted enhanced spatial resolution.Proceedings Title
