摘要: In this paper, we report on the properties of nano-slits created in metal thin films using atomic force microscope (AFM) nanolithography (AFM-NL). We demonstrate that instead expensive diamond AFM tips, it is also possible to use low cost silicon nitride tips. It shown depending direction scratching, different widths and depths can be fabricated at constant load force. elucidate reasons for behavior identify an optimal scratching a gold layer.
