Then, to deposit a structured precipitate from the medium or to structure the surface of the substrate, the micro tip of the SXM is immersed in the layer and fed with an electrical voltage or with voltage pulses.
- SXM scanning probe microscope
- organometallic or other inorganic and organic compounds are used as the liquid and / or gaseous medium.
- the supply of the medium can be controlled in terms of quantity. This can expediently be carried out using the differences in gravity and density existing between the surrounding air and the medium, or by means of a pump and a controlled valve.
- thermoelectric sensor array or a reflection interferometer consisting of light source, beam guide, line detector and evaluation electronics, or a total reflector with a cell-shaped detector can expediently be used to monitor the medium level.
- the medium can be changed during the generation of the structured precipitation or the structuring etching.
- etching products obtained during the structuring etching are expediently removed from the surface of the substrate with a rinsing medium.
- one or more SXM probe cantilevers with a plurality of microtips can be used to apply or remove larger structural fields and for the three-dimensional construction of nanostructures, the simultaneous use of all of them by means of a resistor built into each microtip or by active current control of the individual microtip Micro tips is guaranteed.
- test probe When using an SXM probe cantilever with several micro tips, a test probe is also used, which is used to guide the position of this SXM probe cantilever while applying or removing the material, for viewing larger structural fields and / or for three-dimensional processing of nanostructures .
- Me 2 Au (tfac) dimethyl-gold-trifluoro-acetylacetonate
- Mo (CO) 6 molybdenum hexacarbonyl
- Cu (hfac) 2 copper dihexafluoroacetylacetonate

- etching away can be used as medium XeF 2 (xenon difluoride), TiI 4 (Titanjodit), TiCl 4 (titanium chloride), WF 6 (tungsten hexafluoride) or other highly fluorinated or halogenated compounds are used.
- the invention also relates to the use of the method for characterizing the geometry and renewal or the production of microtips of SXM cantilevers, a tip electrically arranged with a conductor track being arranged in the trough on the substrate, with the aid of which the geometry of the microtip is scanned using a scanning microscope or with the aid of a renewal or the production of a microtip is carried out by supplying the contacted tip with an electrical voltage or with voltage pulses for depositing a precipitate from the medium onto the SXM cantilever probes.
- the invention also relates to the use of the method for storing information, for reading information and for deleting information, the method being used to apply molecules or molecule clusters, which are suitable as information carriers, for information storage, for reading, to the substrates Information is detected and removed or restructured to delete information.
- the process according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that there is no need to work under complex vacuum conditions. It is also advantageous that good conductive landfills can be used and that different processes such as deposition and etching can be carried out in a simple manner by quickly changing the precursors. Another advantage is that worn out probes can be regenerated using the same method when the method is carried out.
- Fig. 7 a flow chart of the work steps for the characterization of microtips and for repair a read / write erase head of a device for information storage, which works on the basis of the inventive method.
- the working arrangement shown in FIG. 1 of a conventional scanning tunneling microscope operated at atmospheric pressure has one of three piezomotors that can be moved in the x, y and z directions and has one or more cantilevers 2 with one or more at the lower end Bears microtips with which a substrate 3, which is held on a substrate holder 4, can be scanned.
- the substrate holder 4 is fastened on the x-y table 5 movable in the x-y direction.
- Such a scanning tunneling microscope is controlled by signal electronics (not shown in the drawing) with image memory, image reproduction and processing as well as with tip movement and sample movement.
- the electronics additionally have one or more channels with which the micro-tips can be guided in accordance with a computer-generated template and the various micro-tips can be acted upon with different constant or pulsed and pulsed voltages in the process of adjusted height and duration for imaging, coating or etching of the substrate .
- the substrate 3 is on the substrate holder 4 in a trough 6, which is attached to the xy table 5 of a scanning probe microscope.
- medium 7 is introduced as diethyl gold acetylacetonate, which consists of heavy organometallic molecules with a molecular weight of 380 and a low vapor pressure of 40 mTorr.
- the micro tip of the cantilever 2, with which water ions are emitted, is immersed in this layer above the substrate 3.
- the impact of the ions causes the vapor molecules adsorbed on the surface of the substrate 3 to be broken up, and in the case of deposition a permanent deposit is formed on the substrate 3.
- an etched product is formed which, by appropriate selection of an etching vapor component, is as gaseous as possible so that it can be removed by means of a steam movement.
- the substrate 3 and the medium 7 can be brought to the same or different temperature. This can advantageously be realized by heating elements under the substrate 3 and with a separately arranged medium reservoir.
- a level measurement of the steam level is advantageously used to determine the end points of the complete steam change. According to FIG. 3, the level measurement can be carried out:
- a two-beam interference arises when the light beam 11 emanating from a light source 10 is partially reflected on the vapor layer and partially penetrates into the vapor layer and is then reflected on the lower edge of the vapor layer, namely on the bottom of the trough 6 or on the substrate 3 and with the exit interferes with the light beam reflected on the surface.
- the interference pattern is created by superimposing the light beams 12, for example with the aid of a lens 14 on a detector 13 or screen mounted in its focal plane. The course of the intensity of the interference pattern can then be used to infer the layer thickness of the vapor layer.
- a line camera with computer readout is advantageously used as the spatially resolving detector 13.
- an equalizing steam quantity 20 is conveyed into or out of the trough 6 via a pipe 17 and a valve 18 by means of a piston 21, which is actuated in a cylinder 23 by a servomotor 22.
- the valve position, the piston position and the temperature of the substrate 3 can advantageously be set in a computer-controlled manner.
- this device or a similar compensation volume control which is constructed according to FIG. 3 with a bellows 24 and a servomotor 22, the steam for deposition or for etching can be controlled and quickly removed and supplied, and it can also be from one to another Media 7 can be changed.
- the three-dimensional structure of nanostructures uses a plurality of micro tips 29 which can be addressed independently via separate conductor tracks 30. This enables a separate control, for example, to achieve a flat, point-by-point structured assignment 31 and etching in write fields on a substrate 28 with simultaneous guidance by a microtip 26 operated in a reading mode on a conductor track 25, with which, for example, a predetermined track 27 by real-time signal evaluation and Position correction is tracked.
- structured deposits can be generated in one position at the same time.
- microtips For the production of such microtips with the method of nanolithography with deposition in the corpuscular beam device, separate addressable microtips with a distance of 100 nm can be built up in a line array and also in a square array. Since the ion-emitting microtips from the Taylor-Cone are formed from water at the end of the tip, the microtips placed determine only the location of the deposition. By specifying the voltage, it is also possible to deposit and reproduce the pattern of the distribution of the present micro tips with their spacing with micro tips at the same voltage. If necessary, a resistor that limits the emission current must be built into the base of the microtip per microtip in order to allow all microtips to emit ions evenly at the same voltage.
- a tip array manufactured in this way can be advantageous for the production of photonic crystals and others lattice-like structures, such as computer generated holograms.
- material can also be removed by means of etching. This is advantageous for cleaning the substrate surfaces and micro tips to be covered and for removing materials that have already been deposited.
- xenon difluoride etches silicon via the fluorine it contains when ion is excited and generates gaseous etching products.
- FIG. 5 An arrangement suitable for etching, which is operated at atmospheric pressure, is shown in FIG. 5.
- the etching gas flows through depending on the height difference between trough 6 and trough 32 the connecting hose and thus moves the vapor surrounding the microtip. This moves the etched products away from the microtip.
- the etching gas component can be supplied or discharged through the connected compensating piston 34 with reservoir and valve in order to terminate the etching process and to allow it to run under computer control.
- etchants are also solid etchants which have a high vapor pressure and contain heavy atoms.
- the working arrangement shown in FIG. 6 for an in-situ repair of a microtip of a scanning probe microscope shows a microtip 39 which has been presented and contacted by means of a conductor track 38.
- the conductor track 38 is located on a substrate holder 36.
- the microtip 39 is surrounded by a high-resistance proximity deposit 37 , which makes it possible to order the highest point of the micro tip 39.
- To produce a new microtip stop at this point with a working tip 40 and place a tip 41 on the working tip 40 with a short pulse.
- the microtip 39 is then scanned again and the process is repeated when the pulse duration changes , the voltage, the vapor pressure and the vapor composition by changing the partial pressure and the material composition of the medium until the desired fine or coarse tip radius has been produced at the tip 41.
- the method according to the invention can also be used for storing information by deposition of molecules and molecule clusters and for deleting information by removing or restructuring molecules by means of a single microtip or by means of a multi-tip arrangement.
- the micro tips are guided locally through an additional test tip. Reading takes place with the same micro tip, but at a voltage below that Response threshold for writing or erasing.
- the micro-tip arrangement for the multi-tip write, read and erase technology can be produced internally by deposition lithography.
- this method enables the read / write erase head to be repaired in situ, and it can be routinely checked and repaired in a preprogrammed manner in order to maintain the performance of the read / write erase memory device.
- FIG. 7 shows the flow diagram for the automatic sequence of characterization and repair for a read / write erase head on a device for information storage, which operates on the basis of the method according to the invention.
