Parallel scanning probe microscope beats single scanning 1000 fold

TNO, an independent research organization in The Netherlands, has developed a multiple miniaturized Scanning Probe Microscopy (MSPM) heads system, which can inspect and measure many sites in parallel. This system means an enhancement of throughput in order of more than 1000 times the single SPM throughput. It is capable of more than 10 wafers per hour...
