Features
1.
Nanoscale Registry and
Alignment
2.
Customized CAD tool capability uniquely made for DPN pattern
design
3. Functions as an excellent stand- alone
atomic force microscope and allows imaging and DPN patterning capability with
both contact and AC modes
4. Closed loop linearized
scanner design which is critical for consistent nanolithography and imaging
5. 3-motor leveling
system critical for use with 1D or 2D probe arrays
6. InkCal™ calibration
routine for ink diffusion
7. Tip-to-Tip alignment
wizard for multi-pen patterning
8. E-Chamber: PC-driven
environmental control
Specifications
DPN Stage

Solid granite
support base, size: 16” x 16” x 14”, weight: 122 lbs (loaded)
l
-
Color CCD
video camera with motorized zoom (4X) and focus capability
-
Video
magnification: 900X, with 260 x 340 micron field of view, 3 micron resolution
-
Seven motors: two for X-Y sample puck translation, one for camera lens zoom, one
for 10x lens focus, and three for Z-axis leveling and Z tip-approach
-
3 independently adjustable Z motors serve to level the plane of the scanner
assembly
-
X-Y sample translator motors: min. 3 micron step size, 1” x 1” travel, max. 2.5
mm/sec slew rate
-
Maximum sample size: 2” across, < 1.5”
thick, and can be attached to a magnetic central post
DPN Scanner
-
≥ 90 micron scan
X-Y range with better than 1% linearity (corrected)
-
≥ 8 micron Z range
-
Noise floor < 0.1 nm in Z (when operated with
complete damping of environmental noise)
-
Scanning is performed with a tripod stack piezo configuration (i.e., independent
X,Y,Z piezos)
-
Closed-loop sensors perform calibration &
linearization of piezo scanner in X, Y, and Z
