TSC-050
Nano Standard Samples
Tip Shape Checker (TSC-050)
The tip shape checker, TSC-050 is a reference material to check the shape of the AFM tip apex. If the certified linewidth (WC) is subtracted from the AFM line profile of a TSC-050, the shape of the tip apex can be determined.

Manufactured by Kims Reference Corp. (internationally accredited reference materials producer from ILAC-MRA and KOLAS via ISO-17034)

Specifications
  • Line width (WC): 50 nm
  • Reference pitch (PR): 250 nm
  • Trench width: 200 nm
  • Pattern depth (D): 100 nm (Not certified)
  • Pattern size: 4 mm × 1.3 mm (Certified area 3 mm)
  • Substrate: Rectangular coupon (9 × 18 mm)
  • Traceability: KOLAS (KRISS) traceable via ISO 17034:2016
Applications
  • Tip shape: If the certified linewidth (W꜀) is subtracted from the AFM line profile of the isolated Si line, the shape of the tip can be directly visualized near the tip apex.
  • Radius and cone angle: The radius (R) and cone angle (α) of the tip can be determined from the estimated tip shape near the apex.
  • Scale Calibration: The measurement scale of AFM image can be calibrated from the certified pitch value (Pᵣ).
