Method of manufacturing and characteristics of a functional AFM cantilever

기능성 원자간력 현미경 캔틸레버 제조 방법과 특성

To illustrate an application of the field effect transistor (FET) structure, this study suggests a new cantilever, using atomic force microscopy (AFM), for sensing surface potentials in nanoscale. A combination of the micro-electromechanical system technique for surface and bulk and the complementary metal oxide semiconductor process has been employed to fabricate the cantilever with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. After the implantation of a high-ion dose, thermal annealing was used to control the channel length between the source and the drain. The basic principle of this cantilever is similar to the FET without a gate electrode.
