What it is
The Veeco AFM-R1 is a gloveboxed atomic force microscope in the RAC1 inert atmosphere lab at the University of Waterloo’s Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility.[1]
How it works
It is located in a lab system that is under an inert nitrogen environment and that maintains less than 0.1 PPM level of oxygen. The lab uses interconnected gloveboxes and antechambers, and the equipment in the lab is linked together via these gloveboxes.[1]
Where it fits in the process flow
The AFM is part of a broader fabrication suite in the RAC1 inert atmosphere lab. The lab also includes a thermal evaporator, a reactive ion etcher, a scanning electron microscope with Nabity pattern generator, a specialized 2D material assembly system, and other gloveboxed tools.[1]
Applications
The lab is used for complete fabrication processes carried out without leaving the inert glovebox environment. The AFM is one of the tools available alongside equipment for thermal evaporation, reactive ion etching, electron beam lithography, 2D material assembly, optical profiling, microscopy, Raman microscopy, and stylus profiling.[1]
