Conclusion
Advantages of the software based methods• no additional equipment
• powerful software tools
• offline evaluation
Disadvantages of the software methods• change of the sample and second approach (tip crash)
• take a long time ~ 30 min
• large errors
Conclusion
Advantages of the SEM method• checking quality of the whole tip (i.e. coatings) and measure radius at
the same time
• each takes 5min, measuring 50 tips in one SEM session
• recommended by cantilever manufacturers
Disadvantages of the SEM method• metal coating if standard SEM is used (SiN-tips)
• contaminate or damage the tip if standard SEM is used
• limited tilt angle using Leo-Gemini SEM
