ABSTRACT:
A scanning tunneling microscope is disclosed with the probe tip formed as an integral part of a membrane. A counter-electrode is formed on the membrane and four electrodes are provided spaced apart from the counter-electrode. The tip is scanned by means of these electrodes. Coarse positioning of the tip along the Z axis is done by applying pressure or vacuum to the membrane. Also disclosed is the method of making the scanning tunneling microscope.
