Local anodic oxidation on Ti film using the vector SPM nanolithography technique. Image size 3×3 µm, line height 3 nm, 400×400 points.

The scanning rate is changing from 40 Hz down to 5 Hz!

AIST-NT MagicScan technology demonstration, 30 microns


AFM image of Test Grating (3 microns pitch, 25 nm height), semicontact AFM mode, probe resonance frequency – 500 kHz, 30х30 microns scan area, 400×400 points. Scan rate increases from 2 to 20 lines per second.
