AFM surface roughness measurement

In this analysis, the surface roughness value (RMS) of the sample is determined with atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Three measurement points from the sample are included in a typical analysis. The measurement area is 5 x 5 micrometers, if not agreed otherwise.

In addition to the RMS value, a 2D image, a 3D image, and raw data will be included in the test report.

Suitable sample matrices
Smooth, hard surfaces, such as silicon wafers or glass.
Required sample quantity
1 x 1 cm
Typical turnaround time
2 – 3 weeks after receiving the samples
Detection limit
0.1 nm
Available quality systems
Measurlabs validated method
