Session 17: SPM Techniques 2
Location: South Ballroom (Worcester's Centrum Centre)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: The SPM methods and measurements possible for the analytical laboratory are truly impressive! This session will contain 5 papers, each with an example of a different technique and its experimental methods. One talk will present a novel SCM sample prep technique with FIB mill. 3 talks will detail use of Magnetic Force Microscopy current measurements, thermal conductivity microscopy subsurface metal void isolation, and doping profiling with Scanning Spreading Resistance. A final talk will discuss the current limits of resolution possible with AFM/SPM.
