Es. Gornev et al., Scanning force microscope measurement of the parameters of the profiles ofsubmillimeter VLSI components, MEAS TECH R, 44(1), 2001, pp. 44-48
A geometric model of a scanning force microscope (atomic force microscope)
(SFM) cantilever with micro- and nanostructures is considered. A linens gau
ge is proposed for SFM calibration and for definition the SFM probe paramet
ers. SEM and SFM methods of measuring submicrometer dimensions of relief st
ructures are compared.
