Electrical Properties

Park Systems offers a range of electrical scanning modes that can be used by engineers and researchers for highly accurate data measurement on conductance, sample resistance, and other electrical and topographic properties.


Conductive AFM

Conductive AFM mode with Park AFM provides accurate electrical conductivity information for material processing and characterization of electrical defects in nanomaterials such as nanotubes, conductive polymers, and semiconductors. It can also be used for detailed investigations of a sample’s properties by measuring leakage current and I/V curves of the sample.

Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SCM)

SCM mode with Park AFM provides doping concentration information over the sample surface by measuring the capacitance change between tip and sample. The module enables a variable resonator frequency, which allows for a wide RF bandwidth capable of monitoring a large range of doping concentrations by selecting the most sensitive frequency of the resonator for a specific doping range.
