ABSTRACTSFM probe tips have been functionalized with polypropylene (PP) layers by immersion into dilute solution. The immersion process was carefully controlled and monitored using a programmable dynamic contact angle analyzer (DCA) equipped with a microbalance and a motor capable of speeds ranging from 2-24 μm/s. Probes were submitted to treatment with ozone prior to coating to eliminate surface contamination, particularly silicone oils, resulting from commercial packaging methods. The chemical composition of the tip surface after the cleaning, coating, and scanning processes was analyzed by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The three-dimensional tip shape and dimensions before and after coating were evaluated by blind reconstruction from images of a columnar titanium thin film using Digital Instruments' Tip Evaluation algorithm. Coating thicknesses of up to 20 nm were calculated, with the thicker coatings showing a larger degree of non-uniformity.

AbstractThe evolution of surface roughness with increasing thickness of (100) InP layersgrown by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy has been observed by scanningforce microscopy. The process of roughening gives rise to periodic elongatedfeatures on the surface aligned in the [011] direction, reflecting the surfaceanisotropy. The morphology eventually evolves to a grain-like surface. Theroughening is dependent on both the group III and V flux, and the growthtemperature, indicating that this phenomenon is kinetically controlled by surfacediffusion activation. For each set of parameters chosen for the growth, there is aminimum temperature where smooth, two-dimensional growth can be obtained.Below that temperature the roughening shows two distinct power law regimesdependent on the epitaxial layer thickness.
