3D Sketch
  
General
• contact mode SPM probe for wide range of applications
• fits to all well-known commercial SPMs
• silicon nitride cantilevers and tips
• cantilevers are supported by a holder chip made of SU-8 epoxy (hybrid design)
• suitable for operation in liquids
Material Features
• low-stress silicon nitride for lowest cantilever bending
• excellent hardness for wear resistance and extended lifetime
• SU-8 epoxy allowing for single holder design
Cantilever
• multi-lever design with two rectangular and two triangular cantilevers
• reflective chromium / titanium/ gold coating on the backside of the cantilevers
• stress compensated with bending below 3°
Support Chip
• made of SU-8 epoxy material (3.4mm x 1.5mm x 0.2mm)
• beveled corner design avoids mechanical contact between chip and sample
• notch design for clear indication of cantilever type (notch near triangular cantilevers)
• easy handling due to single holder chip
Tip
• oxide sharpened pyramidal probe tip
• tip height 3.5 µm and tip radius of curvature typically < 15 nm
• macroscopic half-cone angles 35°
Package sizes
• 20 and 50 probes
