Abstract

A new tecnique for the production of special shaped SPM tips is reported. Noble metal coated tips are produced with flat and circular tip front. The unusual truncated-cone tip shape is obtained by modifying commercial tips. The diameter of the tip front flat area can be varied continuously in the range 0.05 - 1 micrometer.
