Description

Low-quality factor micro-cantilever probe, preparation method thereof and microscope
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of scanning probe microscopes, and particularly relates to a low-quality factor micro-cantilever probe and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The microcantilever probe is a mechanical sensing element of an amplitude modulated atomic force microscope (Amplitude Modulation Atomic Force Microscope, AM-AFM). When the AM-AFM is in operation, the microcantilever probe vibrates around its natural frequency, and its amplitude is maintained at a constant value by a closed loop feedback control system by adjusting the spacing between the probe tip and the sample in real time. The morphology information of the sample surface can be obtained by two-dimensionally scanning the probe tip on the sample surface. Meanwhile, the micro-cantilever probe is also an optical sensing element of a Scanning Near-field optical microscope (Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope, SNOM) based on AM-AFM. When the probe vibrates, the distance between the tip and the sample changes periodically, and the near-field optical signal of the sample surface scattered by the tip of the probe is modulated periodically. Because the dependence of near field optical signal strength on probe tip-sample surface spacing is nonlinear, the near field optical signal to the photodetector contains higher harmonic components of the probe vibration frequency. The near-field optical imaging of the sample surface can be realized by extracting the higher harmonic signals by using a lock-in amplifier.
In the AM-AFM and SNOM scanning imaging process, the amplitude of the micro-cantilever probe can change along with the change of the surface morphology of the sample, and the controller carries out feedback adjustment by sensing the change of the amplitude so as to maintain the probe amplitude at a set value. The time required for this feedback adjustment process is proportional to the quality factor Q of the microcantilever probe. In gas phase and liquid phase environments, larger medium damping is a main way for probe vibration energy dissipation, and the Q value of the probe is smaller; while in a vacuum environment, the smaller intrinsic energy dissipation of the probe results in a larger Q value. In summary, to increase the imaging rate of AM-AFM and SNOM in vacuum environments, we have to use microcantilever probes with low intrinsic quality factors.

The invention aims at the requirements of improving scanning imaging rate of vacuum AM-AFM and vacuum-low temperature SNOM, and provides a method for preparing a low-quality factor probe by introducing structural defects on a cantilever beam of a micro-cantilever probe through a micro-machining means so as to increase the intrinsic energy dissipation rate of the micro-cantilever probe.
The principle of the invention is that micro-nano structures (through holes, blind holes, surface engraving and/or hollowed-out characters, lines or other arbitrary patterns) are processed on the cantilever beams of the micro-cantilever probe by utilizing micro-processing means such as laser direct writing, focused Ion Beam etching (FIB) and the like, structural defects are introduced, the intrinsic energy dissipation rate of the micro-cantilever probe is increased, and the quality factor Q of the micro-cantilever probe is reduced.
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing a low quality factor probe by introducing structural defects on a cantilever beam of a micro-cantilever probe by micro-machining means to increase the intrinsic energy dissipation rate of the micro-cantilever probe is provided.
The raw material used in the invention is an AM-AFM or SNOM micro-cantilever probe. Either bulk probes or whole wafers that are not singulated.
In particular, since the response rate of the circuit portion in the feedback loop is much greater than that of the mechanical portion, the dynamic response time of the microcantilever probe becomes a critical factor limiting the AM-AFM and SNOM imaging rates. The response time of the amplitude of the microcantilever probe is given by,
Figure BDA0003200069520000051
wherein Q is the Quality Factor (Q), ω of the probe 0 Is the natural angular frequency of the probe. As can be seen, the Q of the microcantilever probe determines the imaging rate of the AM-AFM and SNOM. The Q value depends on the dissipation rate of probe vibration energy: the faster the energy dissipation, the smaller the Q.
Specifically, when the micromachining process is a laser direct writing process, the process steps are as follows:

When the micromachining process is a focused ion beam etching process, the process steps are as follows:

(2) The layout is imported to a focused ion beam control system, and the length and width of the etching pattern are set in the control system;
