Abstract
A new technique for producing polymeric cantilevers with integrated ti ps for combined scanning-force microscopy/scanning near-field optical microscopy is described in this paper. By integration reactive ion of etched polymeric and fluorescent tips to polymer-based cantilevers, it will become possible to produce apertureless sensors for a scanning n ear-field optical microscope with the well-known atomic-force distance control.
