Park Systems, a provider of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and nano-metrology solutions, announced the launch of its Park NANOstandard™ product line. This new product line provides calibration standard samples for AFM and SEM measurements, allowing users to accurately measure and analyze their samples. The Park NANOstandard is equivalent to NIST-traceable products for measuring among others the critical dimensions (CD) of semiconductor patterns.
The Park NANOstandard products include AFM Tip Characterizer (AFMTC) and High Magnification Calibration (HMC). The AFMTC is a calibration sample designed to evaluate the radius and half-cone angle of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip. It is nano-patterned with line widths ranging from 10 nm to 50 nm. It is traceable to the Korean Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) for ISO 17034:2016 and is traceable through the atomic lattice constant in the silicon substrate by HR-TEM. A software program for calibration and uncertainty calculation is also provided.
“The Park NANOstandard product line will help our customers ensure the accuracy of their measurements and increase the quality of their products.”
The HMC standard sample is made of polycrystalline silicon and has five certified values for line widths ranging from 20 nm to 80 nm and five certified values for pitch values ranging from 100 nm to 900 nm. The HMC standard sample is traceable to the KRISS for ISO 17034:2016. It is also traceable through the atomic lattice constant in the silicon substrate by High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM).
The Park NANOstandard products are manufactured in collaboration with Park Systems by Kims Reference Corp., a leading manufacturer of advanced reference materials for nano-measurement and surface analysis. “The Park NANOstandard product line will help our customers ensure the accuracy of their measurements and increase the quality of their products,” said VP of Product Marketing, Richard Lee. “We are proud to be collaborating with Kims Reference Corp. to bring this innovative product line to market.”
Park Systems is committed to providing the highest quality products and services to its customers. The Park NANOstandard product line is designed to provide reliable and accurate calibration of AFM and SEM systems, allowing users to accurately measure and analyze their samples.
