Title
Fabrication of a stepped shape tip using a self-descending phenomena of meniscus
Abstract
We introduce a novel fabrication method of a tungsten tip for STM applications. It uses a gradual meniscus descending phenomena caused by the thanks of a Teflon structure with the hydrophobicity. The fabricated tungsten tips with high aspect ratio have curvature radius of 20 nm or even less. Good reproducibility is experimentally demonstrated by the use of the new etching system. Finally, field emission behaviors of the fabricated tungsten tips are characterized in a high vacuum condition.
