18、g, together with the rapid advance of many diverse applications of nanotechnology in industrial processes, calls for reliable and comparable quantitative dimensional measurements in the micro- and submicrometre range. 9Currently, a measurement resolution, in or below the nanometre region, is frequen

19、tly required. Conventional optical or stylus measurement methods or coordinate measuring systems are not able to offer this level of resolution. For this reason, scanning-probe microscopes (SPMs) are increasingly employed as quantitative measuring instruments. Their use is no longer confined only to

20、 research and development, but has also been extended to include industrial production and inspection. For this category of measuring instrument, standardized calibration procedures need to be developed, for example, as have been established already long ago for contact stylus instruments (see ISO 1

21、2179). For efficient and reliable calibration of SPMs to be carried out, the properties of the measurement standards used need to be documented and be accounted for in the calibration (see Figure 1) and, at the same time, the procedure for the calibration should be clearly defined. Only if this prer

22、equisite is satisfied, will it be possible to perform traceable measurements of geometrical quantities. Figure 1 Traceability chain for scanning-probe microscopes NOTE The calibration of a users SPM by means of traceably calibrated measurement standards is the object of this International Standard (

23、done by the user). A scanning-probe microscope is a serially operating measuring device which uses a probe with a tip of adequate fineness to trace the surface of the object to be measured by exploitation of a local physical interaction (such as the quantum-mechanical tunnel effect, interatomic or i

24、ntermolecular forces, or evanescent modes of the electromagnetic field). The probe and the object to be measured are being displaced in relation to one another in a plane (hereinafter referred to as the x-y-plane) according to a defined pattern, 10while the signal of the interaction is recorded and

25、can be used to control the distance ISO 2014 All rights reserved v ISO 11952:2014(E) between probe and object. In this International Standard, signals are considered which are used for the determination of the topography (hereinafter called the “z-signal”). This International Standard covers the ver

26、ification of the device characteristics necessary for the measurement of geometrical measurands and the calibration of the axes of motion (x, y, z), 11i.e. the traceability to the unit of length via measurement on traceable lateral, step height, and 3D measurement standards (see Figure 2). While thi

27、s International Standard aims at axis calibrations at the highest level and is thereby intended primarily for high-stability SPMs, a lower level of calibration might be required for general industry use.

31、ational Standard specifies methods for characterizing and calibrating the scan axes of scanning-probe microscopes for measuring geometric quantities at the highest level. It is applicable to those providing further calibrations and is not intended for general industry use, where a lower level of cal

32、ibration might be required. This International Standard has the following objectives: to increase the comparability of measurements of geometrical quantities made using scanning- probe microscopes by traceability to the unit of length; to define the minimum requirements for the calibration process a

33、nd the conditions of acceptance; to ascertain the instruments ability to be calibrated (assignment of a “calibrate-ability” category to the instrument); to define the scope of the calibration (conditions of measurement and environments, ranges of measurement, temporal stability, transferability); to

34、 provide a model, in accordance with ISO/IEC Guide 98-3, to calculate the uncertainty for simple geometrical quantities in measurements using a scanning-probe microscope; to define the requirements for reporting results. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normat
