BudgetSensors Introduces a Calibration Standard with 500nm Step Height

BudgetSensors® introduces AFM Height Calibration Standard.

Sofia, Bulgaria (PRWEB) August 2, 2008 -- Following the introduction of the AFM height calibration standards HS-100MG and the HS-20MG, BudgetSensors, the Bulgarian manufacturer of silicon and silicon nitride probes, as well as AFM accessories for Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM), announces the commercial introduction of third type of AFM height calibration standard - the HS-500MG.

Just as the height calibration standards HS-100MG and the HS-20MG, the HS-500MG features silicon dioxide structure arrays on a 5x5mm silicon chip. The fabrication process guarantees excellent uniformity of the structures across the chip. This in turn ensures easy and reliable Z-axis calibration of any AFM system.

Arrays of structures with different shape and pitch are integrated on each chip.

Aside from Z-axis calibration, this design also allows X- and Y-axis calibration for bigger scanners (40-100µm range).

The HS-500MG features structures with 500nm step height.

With the introduction of the HS-500MG BudgetSensors customers can choose between height calibration standards with 3 different step heights: 20nm, 100nm and 500nm.

More calibration standards by BudgetSensors® are under development.
