△ [6a-C24-8] Drift correction in scanning probe microscopy
Keywords:SPM, AFM, drift correction
Fluctuation of relative position between a sample and a tip distorts a scanning probe microscopy image, that is called thermal drift. This report proposes a method of thermal drift correction for a three-dimensional measurement of a sillicon line pattern measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM). A time-dependent drift of several-nanometers in AFM image was corrected precisely by this method.
