| Description | Journal: Nanotechnology We report on the fabrication of metallic, ultra-sharp atomic force microscope (AFM) tips for localized nanoscale infrared (IR) spectrum measurements by using focused electron-beam-induced deposition of platinum (Pt) or tungsten (W). The tip length can be controlled by changing the duration time of the electron beam. Probes of 12.0 ± 5.0 nm radius-of-curvature can be routinely produced with high repeatability and near-100% yield. The near-field-enhancement appears stronger at the extremity of the metallic tip, compared with commercial pristine silicon nitride (SiN) probe tip. Finally, the performance of the modified metallic tips is demonstrated by imaging PVDF and PMMA thin films, which shows that spatial resolution is greatly enhanced. In addition, the signal intensity of the localized nanoscale IR spectrum is increased offering greater sensitivity for chemical IR imaging. |
