Dimension 3100 Atomic Force Microscope
The Dimension 3100 Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) utilizes automated atomic force microscopy (AFM) and
scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) techniques to measure surface
characteristics for semiconductor wafers, lithography masks, magnetic
media, CDs/DVDs, biomaterials, optics, and other samples up to 200 mm in
diameter. Its laser spot alignment system and the ability to change
scanning techniques without tools guarantee flexibility, ease of use,
and high product throughput.
