Abstract

See full text

An in situ plasma dry etching process for the formation of atomically sharp tips for use in high resolution microscopes in which i) a mask layer is deposited on a substrate, ii) a photoresist layer is patterned superjacent the mask layer at the sites where the tips are to be formed, iii) the mask is selectively removed by plasma etching, iv) after which the substrate is etched in the same plasma reacting chamber, thereby creating sharp microscope tips.
