Scanning probe microscopy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) is a branch of microscopy that forms images of surfaces using a physical probe that scans the specimen. An image of the surface is obtained by mechanically moving the ...

The first scanning probe microscope was the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) of Binnig and Rohrer (Binnig, G., Rohrer, H., et al., (1982) Phys. Rev. Lett., 49:57.). Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer were awarded half of the 1986 Nobel Laureate in Physics for their design of the scanning tunneling microscope.

The family of scanning probe microscopes uses no lenses, but rather a probe that interacts with the sample surface. The type of interaction measured between the probe tip and the sample surface defines the type of scanning probe microscope being used.

A technique for the fabrication of single-electron transistors (SETs) on tips for use in scanning probe microscopy is presented. The tips are micromachined out of an MBE-grown AlGaAs–GaAs heterostructure with a trench within each tip.
