What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Bruker Dimension Edge is an atomic force microscope used for nanoscale metrology and inspection. It is a scanning probe microscope platform for measuring surface topography and nanomechanical properties.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

This instrument fits in metrology and inspection after sample preparation and before decisions that depend on surface quality or mechanical response. It is used to examine small-scale surface features that are not visible with conventional optical inspection.

Applications

The instrument is used for nanoscale surface topography, roughness, step height, and nanomechanical measurements. It can also support force-based studies of adhesion and stiffness.[1]

Frequently asked questions

What measurements does the Bruker Dimension Edge AFM provide?

It provides nanoscale measurements of surface topography such as roughness and step height, as well as nanomechanical properties.[1]

What scan range and vertical noise floor are given for this model?

The scan range is 90 μm by 90 μm, and the vertical noise floor is less than 50 pm RMS.[1]

What sample size can this system accept?

It accepts samples up to 150 mm in diameter and 15 mm thick.[1]

What sample properties can single point spectroscopy measure on this instrument?

Single point spectroscopy is used to obtain force curves for quantitative measurement of mechanical properties such as adhesion and stiffness, also described as modulus.[1]
