- the present invention relates to a method for fabricating a critical dimension SPM (CD-SPM) nanoneedle probe capable of precisely scanning the sidewall of an sample object in nanoscale using ion beam, and to a CD-SPM nanoneedle probe thereby. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for fabricating a CD-SPM nanoneedle probe capable of precisely scanning the sidewall of the sample object in nanoscale by bending a portion of an end of the nanoneedle attached on the tip of the SPM nanoneedle probe in a specific angle toward a certain direction other than an original direction in which the nanoneedle attached on the tip of the SPM nanoneedle probe extends out, and to a CD-SPM nanoneedle probe thereby.
- CD-SPM critical dimension SPM
- needle includes what terms “nanotube” and “nanowire” refer to.
- An SPM is a device used in a field of nanoscale technology, which is very powerful and useful as well as being delicate.
- the SPM is distinguished into various kinds such as an atomic force microscope (AFM) utilizing an atomic force applied between a probe and a sample object, a magnetic force microscope (MFM) utilizing a magnetic force applied between the probe and the sample object, an electrostatic force microscope (EFM) utilizing an electrostatic force applied between the probe and the sample object, and a scanning near field optical microscope (SNOM) utilizing an optical property of the sample object, etc.

- Korean patent application 10-2002-0052591 still has technical disadvantages of long process time and high cost required to fabricate a nanoneedle SPM probe as well as low throughput because the patent application utilizes a nanomanipulator and a medium attached the tip of the probe to adjust the pointing direction of the nanoneedle.
- adjusting the accuracy of the pointing direction of the nanoneedle is required not only for scanning in CD as described above, but also for obtaining a correct scanning image using a general nanoneedle SPM probe Particularly, in case where the nanoneedle attached on the tip of the probe is long, it becomes a more important technical factor to adjust the accuracy of the pointing direction of the nanoneedle.

- a distorted image being different from the actual shape of the sidewall of the sample object is obtained instead as shown in FIG. 14 because the probe scans the sidewall illustrated in FIG. 13.
- US patent 6,246,054 disclosed the SPM probe having an end with shapes illustrated in FIG. 15, it still has a disadvantage in that the method to fabricate such probe and the scanning method are too complicated. Besides, it has a certain limitation in accuracy of the scanning the sidewall of a sample object to be scanned.
