What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Atomic force microscopes are scanning probe instruments that measure surface topography by tracking the deflection of a sharp tip mounted on a flexible cantilever. The DI Innova belongs to the class of metrology and inspection tools used for nanoscale surface characterization in research and development environments.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

AFMs are applied in semiconductor metrology for roughness analysis, defect review, and critical dimension measurements on test wafers. Outside of electronics, they are used in materials science, polymer research, and biology for imaging surfaces, measuring mechanical properties, and studying nanoscale phenomena.
