Quantitative microwave evanescent microscopy
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720 (United States)
We have developed a scanning evanescent microwave microscope with shielded tip geometry allowing quantitative characterization of the electrical impedance of insulating and conducting materials. By modeling the tip{endash}sample capacitance, quantitative estimates of the sample (both dielectric and conducting) electrical impedance (real and imaginary) and tip{endash}sample separation can be made. Measurements of the tip{endash}sample capacitance versus tip{endash}sample separation have been made and agree with estimated values. Also, the slope of the tip{endash}sample capacitance with respect to the tip{endash}sample distance is calculated to implement tip{endash}sample distance regulation for dielectric materials. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
