Rayleigh criterion for resolution
x ~ 0.2Δ μ
www.microscopy.fsu.edu ; www.imb-jena.de
Please check the first web site to watch a Java Applet on the dependence of Rayleigh criterion on λ of incident
radiation and on the numerical aperture.
THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPES
de Broglie : = h / mvλ
: wavelength associated with the particleλ
h: Plank’s constant 6.63 10^-34 J.s;
mv: momentum of the particle
m_e: 9.1 10^-31 kg; e 1.6 10^-19 coloumb
P.E eV = mv2
/2 => λ = 12.3/√VÅ
V of 60kV, λ= 0.05 Å => x ~ 2.5Δ Å

Scanning probe microscopy
• 1982 Binning & Rohrer, IBM
Zurich.
• STM, AFM & Family.
• Resolution:
Height: 0.01nm, XY: 0.1nm
• Local tip-sample interaction:
Tunneling (electronic
structure), Van der Waal’s
force, Electric/Magnetic fields.
• Advantages: atomic resolution,
non destructive imaging, UHV,
ambient/liquids, temperatures.
• Diverse fields: materials
science, biology, chemistry,
tribology.

Operational modes and requirements
• Topography (conducting
surfaces and biological
samples).
• ST Spectroscopy (from IV
obtain the DOS).
• STP(spatial variation of
potential in a current carrying
film).
• BEEM (Interfacial properties,
Schottky barriers).
• Vibration isolation: 0.001nm
• Reliable tip - sample
positioning
• Electrical and acoustic noise
isolation
• Stability against thermal drift
• Good tips
• STM Mechanical stability
Electronics
• Current to voltage converter: Gain 108
-1010
• Bias Circuit
• Feedback Electronics: Error amplifier, PID
controller, few filters.
• Scan Electronics: +X -X +Y -Y ramp signals
(generated by the DA card).
• HV Circuit amplifies the scan voltages and the
feedback signal to ± 100 V from ± 10 V.
• Data acquisition and image display

• EFM: Electrostatic force microscopy
• TSM: Thermal scanning microscopy
• NSOM: Near field scanning optical
microscope
• Top-down techniques take a bulk material, machine it, modify it into the
desired shape and product
- classic example is manufacturing of integrated circuits
using a sequence of steps sush as crystal growth, lithography, deposition,
etching, CMP, ion implantation…

Miniaturization, Marc J. Madou, CRC Press, 2002)

• Bottom-up techniques build something from basic materials
- assembling from the atoms/molecules up
- not completely proven in manufacturing yet
Examples:
Self-assembly
Sol-gel technology
Deposition (old but is used to obtain nanotubes, nanowires, nanoscale films…)
Manipulators (AFM, STM,….)
3-D printers (http://web.mit.edu/tdp/www)
• Physical
• Chemical (CVD)
• Plasma deposition
• Molecular beam epitaxy
(can be physical or chemical)
• Laser ablation
• Sol-gel processing
Thermal evaporation
Sputtering
• Spin coating
• Dip coating
• Self-assembling
monolayers
• Thermal evaporation
- Old technique for thin film dep.
- Sublimation of a heated material onto a substrate in a
vacuum
chamber
- Molecular flux = N0 exp
= activation energy
- heat sources for evaporation (resistance, e-beam, rf, laser)
• Sputtering
- The material to be deposited is in the form of a disk (target)
- The target, biased negatively, is bombarded by positive ions
(inert gas ions such as Ar+
) in a high vacuum chamber
- The ejected target atoms are directed toward the substrate

• Versatile process for making ceramic and glass materials (powders, coatings,
fibers… variety of forms).
• Involves converting from a liquid ‘solution’ to a solid ‘gel’
• Start with inorganic metal salts or metal alkoxides (called precursors); series of
hydrolysis and polymerization reactions to prepare a colloidal suspension (sol).
• Next step involves an effort to get the desirable form
- thin film by spin or dip coating
- casting into a mold
• Further drying/heat treatment, wet gel is converted into desirable final product
• Aerogel: highly porous, low density material obtained by removing the liquid in
a wet gel under supercritical conditions
• Ceramic fibers can be drawn from the gel by adjusting the
viscosity
• Powders can be made by precipitation, or spray pyrolysis
• Examples
- Piezoelectric materials such as lead-zircomium-titanate (PZT)
- Thick films consisting of nano TiO2 particles for solar cells
- Optical fibers
- Anti-reflection coatings (automotive)
- Aerogels as filler layer to replace air in double-pane structures
• Check http://www.mit.edu/tdp/www
• Solid freeform fabrication, currently working only at sub-mm
level, is amenable for nanoscale prototyping
• Works by building parts in layers. Starts with a CAD model for
the structure
• Each layer begins with a thin distribution of powder spread over
the surface of a powder bed
• Technology similar to ink-jet printing
• A binder material selectively joins particles where the object
formation is desired
• A piston is lowered that leads to spreading the next layer
• Layer-by-layer process is repeated
• Final heat treatment removes unbound powder
• Allows control of composition, microstructure, surface structure

  • 29. • Top-down techniques take a bulk material, machine it, modify it into the desired shape and product - classic example is manufacturing of integrated circuits using a sequence of steps sush as crystal growth, lithography, deposition, etching, CMP, ion implantation… ⇑ (Fundamentals of Microfabrication: The Science of Miniaturization, Marc J. Madou, CRC Press, 2002) ⇓ • Bottom-up techniques build something from basic materials - assembling from the atoms/molecules up - not completely proven in manufacturing yet Examples: Self-assembly Sol-gel technology Deposition (old but is used to obtain nanotubes, nanowires, nanoscale films…) Manipulators (AFM, STM,….) 3-D printers (http://web.mit.edu/tdp/www)

  • 31. • Thermal evaporation - Old technique for thin film dep. - Sublimation of a heated material onto a substrate in a vacuum chamber - Molecular flux = N0 exp = activation energy - heat sources for evaporation (resistance, e-beam, rf, laser) • Sputtering - The material to be deposited is in the form of a disk (target) - The target, biased negatively, is bombarded by positive ions (inert gas ions such as Ar+ ) in a high vacuum chamber - The ejected target atoms are directed toward the substrate # cm 2 .s ⎛ ⎝ ⎞ ⎠ −φe /kT( ) φe

  • 33. • Versatile process for making ceramic and glass materials (powders, coatings, fibers… variety of forms). • Involves converting from a liquid ‘solution’ to a solid ‘gel’ • Start with inorganic metal salts or metal alkoxides (called precursors); series of hydrolysis and polymerization reactions to prepare a colloidal suspension (sol). • Next step involves an effort to get the desirable form - thin film by spin or dip coating - casting into a mold • Further drying/heat treatment, wet gel is converted into desirable final product • Aerogel: highly porous, low density material obtained by removing the liquid in a wet gel under supercritical conditions
  • 34. • Ceramic fibers can be drawn from the gel by adjusting the viscosity • Powders can be made by precipitation, or spray pyrolysis • Examples - Piezoelectric materials such as lead-zircomium-titanate (PZT) - Thick films consisting of nano TiO2 particles for solar cells - Optical fibers - Anti-reflection coatings (automotive) - Aerogels as filler layer to replace air in double-pane structures
  • 35. • Check http://www.mit.edu/tdp/www • Solid freeform fabrication, currently working only at sub-mm level, is amenable for nanoscale prototyping • Works by building parts in layers. Starts with a CAD model for the structure • Each layer begins with a thin distribution of powder spread over the surface of a powder bed • Technology similar to ink-jet printing • A binder material selectively joins particles where the object formation is desired • A piston is lowered that leads to spreading the next layer • Layer-by-layer process is repeated • Final heat treatment removes unbound powder • Allows control of composition, microstructure, surface structure
