Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study proposes the concept and a state-of-art compact and mobile apparatus for dynamically observing sub 50 nm-sized moving particles on the surface being polished by using an evanescent field, in purpose to apply for investigating polishing phenomena. By this method, only the particle near the surface can be visualized due to the limited range of the localized evanescent field. Therefore, an observed image of scattering light from each nano-particle, not an image of the particle, will have high contrast since there is no scattering light from other particles that are out of the evanescent field.
The developed mobile apparatus approximately has 350 mm long, 150 mm high, 100 mm wide in dimensions and 15.7 N in weight. The scattering light from moving nanoparticles in polishing can be dynamically (up to 100 frame/s) observed down to 15 nm (down to 50 nm for moving particles on 4H-SiC surface) with the developed compact and mobile apparatus.
