Scanning Capacitance Microscopy - SCM Resolution

SCM Resolution

On the conducting surfaces, the resolution limit is estimated as 2 nm. For the high resolution, the quick analysis of capacitance of a capacitor with rough electrode is required. This SCM resolution is an order of magnitude better than that estimated for the atomic nanoscope; however, as other kinds of the probe microscopy, SCM requires careful preparation of the analyzed surface, which is supposed to be almost flat.

Famous quotes containing the word resolution:

    Compared to football, baseball is almost an Oriental game, minimizing individual stardom, requiring a wide range of aggressive and defensive skills, and filled with long periods of inaction and irresolution. It has no time limitations. Football, on the other hand, has immediate goals, resolution on every single play, and a lot of violence—itself a highlight. It has clearly distinguishable hierarchies: heroes and drones.
