Abstract
In this paper, to realize rapid measurement for micro-structured surfaces, forces and currents are adopted as feedback signals for scanning probe microscopes (SPMs). These two kinds of signals are examined with a piezoelectric actuator. The nonlinearities of the actuator are compensated for with a resolution of 1 nm by a linear encoder. By using this measurement system, experiments of tracking the Z-directional displacement of a PZT stage are done with both the scanning force microscopy (SFM) and the scanning current microscopy (SCM). The constructed SCM shows better results than the SFM in terms of stability and sensitivity.
