Research laboratories of electronics in nanotechnology utilize a variety of sophisticated equipment to conduct their experiments and analyses. Some of the most commonly used tools include:
Electron Microscopes: Instruments that use electron beams to achieve high-resolution imaging of nanoscale structures. Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM): Devices that measure the forces between a sharp probe and the surface of a sample to create detailed topographical maps. Cleanrooms: Controlled environments with low levels of contaminants, essential for fabricating and handling delicate nanostructures. Deposition Systems: Equipment for depositing thin films of materials onto substrates, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD).
