NanoCutting includes a group of similar processes: - Nano-imprints to press a user exchangeable tip into a sample: once, by acceleration, in arrays, or by bitmap patterns. - Nano-lines or arrays of lines to cut a field out of the sample, e.g. with a diamond tip - Nano-slicing of samples fixed on top of a substrate, e.g. wool fibers, bio-structures etc.: with a sharp knife by friction. - Freely programmable loops, macros and combinations out of these processes. The features of the Nanoworkbench enable: - Live Image Positioning e.g. to select the imprint points or the lines to cut - Nanofinger® Scouting for guiding the cutter to a flat sample or with the 3D-Nanofinger® package to measure a height profile on a rough sample and guide the cutter parallel to that topography. - The Sequencer can embed pre-defined cutting macros into complete processes. - customized cutters in various shapes and materials are available - up to 1000 times faster milling than by FIB systems - 1 nm movement resolution on 20 x 20 x 10 mm 3 cutting stroke - automatic macros that can be freely edited by the user - NanoCutting is an application package of the Nanoworkbench - NanoCutting can be combined with the 3D-Nanofinger®application package to cut along a measured topography. - NanoCutting can be combined with the application package NanoCleaning, to clean the cutter tip in-between, in-situ, in automation, incredible. This application package is part of the Nanoworkbench
