“…CD-AFM, a technique modified in 1994 for sidewall measurements on the basis of a flared tip [11], has since been improved by AFM manufacturers and national metrology institutes (NMIs) and is now a standard metrology technique [8,[12][13][14][15][16][17]. In CD-AFM, the scan is controlled both vertically and horizontally by detecting atomic forces in two directions, thus allowing the tracing of the vertical sidewalls of line patterns and the measurement of various other 3D parameters.…”

“…A special challenge is the measurement and metrology of highly non-planar structures, such as trenches, holes, cavities, ridges, sidewalls, pillars and so on. Many of these applications require tips that are exceedingly long and slender, or have special sidetip geometries [1][2][3][4]. Among the many methods for manufacturing high aspect ratio (HAR) probes existing today, the most popular ones are on-axis (annular) FIB milling [4][5][6][7][8][9][10], electron beam induced deposition (EBID) [11][12][13][14], advanced silicon processing [15,16], carbon nanotube integration on the tip of the probe [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and growth of whiskers [24].…”

None of these methods allow full freedom in terms of design, but typically excel in a rather limited range of applications.…”
