Description

A kind of nano class processing method of energizing impression

Technical field

The present invention relates to the nanoscale manufacture field, refer in particular to a kind of nano class processing method of energizing impression.

Background technology

The magnetic storage of institute's widespread use and optical storage media are near its physics limit at present, and scientists is beginning to try to explore new theory of storage, technology and material, in the hope of breaking through the limit of data storage.Compare with other traditional fine machining methods, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is owing to have minimum probe radius-of-curvature, low electron energy, wide power density scope and timely characteristics such as high-resolution imaging, make it good application prospects be arranged in information stores and nanoprocessing field, can satisfy ultrahigh density storage, the process requirements of superhigh precision.But, conventional at present SPM nanoprocessing is under the certain situation of probe power shifted signal, by applying the processing that pulse realizes dot matrix, but has only 10V for the highest amplitude of most of pulse producer, and the pulse producer price with higher amplitude is generally relatively more expensive, the threshold value that many sample appearance point formation looks change is considerably beyond 10V, and just there is the high deficiency of processing cost in this.

Summary of the invention

The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of DC voltage of utilizing and carry out nano level impression job operation, this method realizes on the multi-functional scanning probe microscopy of the NanoscopeIII of U.S. DI company.

This scanning probe microscopy is by main microscope, controller, the control display, graphic alphanumeric display, compositions such as computing machine and keyboard and mouse, wherein the method for modifying during by similar its conventionally test surface potential energy is reequiped to main microscope, microscope lower curtate pin is all drawn with thin wire, one by current-limiting resistance external direct current power supply positive pole, the negative pole of power supply and the other common ground that links to each other, with can realize nanoscale energizing impression job operation operation by this device based on scanning probe microscopy: (1) remains the substrate of film processed sample with the surface and is placed on the microscopical sample stage, and with conducting resinl sample is carried out the transition on the sample stage; (2) then sample is carried out pattern scanning, treat that probe moves to position to be processed, enter the impression pattern of force curve, adjust parameter preset, comprise the size of the biasing force of impression, the number of point and the spacing of point etc., open external direct current power supply simultaneously, and magnitude of voltage is set; (3) begin to carry out impression, change the acting force of needle point by changing sonde method to shifted signal to sample, between needle point and sample, have like this electric current by the time can produce highfield, under the effect of mechanism such as power electric coupling, will make sample surfaces generation modification, morphology change such as pit or projection occur, obtain potentially to become high density information canned data point; (4) get back to pattern after the sample topography scanning mode obtains to process.

The invention has the advantages that processing employing galvanic current source, need not the more expensive pulse producer significantly of price; Owing to can be used for the relatively poor film sample of some electric conductivity, therefore have good versatility; At different samples, repeatable high under its suitable parameters; The method is to realize by means of the impression pattern in the microscope, thereby can directly control.

Embodiment

Describe the implementation procedure of the scheme of the present invention's proposition in detail in conjunction with Fig. 1.

In order to carry out nano level energizing impression processing, the repacking that adjusts the telescope to one's eyes earlier is specific as follows: eight pins of wire jumper of microscope bottom are all drawn with thin wire, the line label of going forward side by side, be followed successively by from top to bottom I-VIII number, the I line is a ground wire, and the representative of II line links to each other III with sample 3, the V line is the machine intimate power outlet, and the VI line represents to be connected to conducting probe needle point (4).III, IV line are linked to each other, and the VI line is connected with the I line and makes conductive pinpoint (4) ground connection, II line pass through on current-limiting resistance (2) external direct current power supply (1) positive pole of a 1k Ω, the negative pole of direct supply (1) common ground that is connected with the I line.The conducting probe (4) that scheme adopts provides MESP type probe for DI company, and needle surface is coated with the CoCr thin magnetic film.Concrete job operation is placed on the microscopical sample stage (6) for the surface being remained the substrate (5) of film processed sample (3), and with conducting resinl sample (3) is carried out the transition on the sample stage (6); Treat film processed sample sample (3) then and carry out pattern scanning, treat that conducting probe (4) moves to predetermined Working position, enter the impression pattern of force curve, mix up parameter preset, comprise the size of the biasing force of impression, the number of point and the spacing of point etc., open external direct current power supply (1) simultaneously, and the suitable voltage value is set; Begin to carry out impression, change the acting force of needle point by changing sonde method to shifted signal to sample, between needle point and sample, have like this electric current by the time can produce highfield, between needle point and sample, have like this electric current by the time can produce highfield, under the effect of mechanism such as power electric coupling, will make sample surfaces generation modification, morphology change such as pit or projection occur, obtain potentially to become high density information canned data point; After having pressed, turn off external power supply (1), get back to scanning pattern pattern, if the effect of observing processing undesirable, powers up impression again, strengthens the biasing force signal in the scope that needle point can bear gradually, up to desirable machining information point occurring.
