Abstract
The article focuses on the development of a novel multi-probe tomographic atomic force microscope (AFM) for materials research and failure analysis in the semiconductor industry. It discusses the advantages of this new AFM system; including its ability to alternate between multiple probe tips for material removal and sensing; automated control of removal rates; the suppression of tip-induced artifacts; and mapping of various materials and structures.
