Accurate Force Spectroscopy In Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy In Liquids, Xin Xu, John Melcher, Arvind Raman
Xin Xu
Existing force spectroscopy methods in tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) such as higher harmonic inversion [M. Stark, R. W. Stark, W. M. Heckl, and R. Guckenberger, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 99, 8473 (2002)] or scanning probe acceleration microscopy [J. Legleiter, M. Park, B. Cusick, and T. Kowalewski, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 103, 4813 (2006)] or integral relations [M. Lee and W. Jhe, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 036104 (2006); S. Hu and A. Raman, Nanotechnology 19, 375704 (2008); H. Holscher, Appl. Phys. Lett. 89, 123109 (2006); A. J. Katan, Nanotechnology 20, 165703 (2009)] require …
Interfacial And Electrokinetic Characterization Of Ipa Solutions Related To Semiconductor Wafer Drying And Cleaning, Jin-Goo Park, Sang-Ho Lee, Ju-Suk Ryu, Yi-Koan Hong, Tae-Gon Kim, Ahmed A. Busnaina
Interfacial And Electrokinetic Characterization Of Ipa Solutions Related To Semiconductor Wafer Drying And Cleaning, Jin-Goo Park, Sang-Ho Lee, Ju-Suk Ryu, Yi-Koan Hong, Tae-Gon Kim, Ahmed A. Busnaina
Jin-Goo Park
In this study, the interfacial and electrokinetic phenomena of mixtures of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and deionized (DI) water in relation to semiconductor wafer drying is investigated. The dielectric constant of an IPA solution linearly decreased from 78 to 18 with the addition of IPA to DI water. The viscosity of IPA solutions increased as the volume percentage of IPA in DI water increased. The zeta potentials of silica particles and silicon wafers were also measured in IPA solutions. The zeta potential approached neutral values as the volume ratio of IPA in DI water increased. A surface tension decrease from 72 …
