Switzerland – Scanning probe microscopes – Low-temperature scanning probe microscope for in-operando device nanoscopy

The subject of this tender is a low-temperature (<3K), ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) scanning probe microscopy system with optical access to the scanned sample to pinpoint device structures in the sub-micrometer range to be investigated on the atomic level. The system provides state-of-the-art scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), spectroscopy (STS) and tuning fork based noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM), including UHV preparation chamber and load lock.
