DPER Probes

High Resolution Conductive silicon probes

DPER probes are made by depositing a thin platinum coating on silicon tips. While the thickness of the coating on a flat cantilever surface is about 15 nm, there is only a 10 nm increase in the tip dimensions compared to bare silicon probes. These probes are recommended for electrical applications requiring higher resolution.
