Zusammenfassung: Given their superior dynamics, microprobes represent promising probe candidates for high-speed roughness measurement applications. Their disadvantage, however, lies in the fact that the volume of the microprobe’s silicon tip decreases dramatically during roughness measurement, and the unstable tip geometry leads to an increase in measurement uncertainty. To investigate the factors that influence tip geometry variation during roughness measurement, a rectangular-shaped tip characterizer was employed to characterize the tip geometry, and a method for reconstructing the tip geometry from the measured profile was introduced. Experiments were conducted to explore the ways in which the tip geometry is influenced by tip wear, probing force, and the relative movement of the tip with respect to the sample. The results indicate that tip fracture and not tip wear is the main reason for tip volume loss, and that the lateral dynamic load on the tip during scanning mode is responsible for more tip fracture than are other factors.
Anderes: The results in this paper come from EMPIR 17IND05 MicroProbes, an EU-funded project. MicroProbes has received funding from the EMPIR program co-financed by the EU participating states and from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.
Bemerkung: Description of the individual files

Each data file within this dataset is related to one figure of the related publication:
Xu et al. Using a Tip Characterizer to Investigate Microprobe Silicon Tip Geometry Variation in Roughness Measurements. Sensors 2022, 22, 1298. https://doi.org/10.3390/s22031298

The data are named according to (figure No.)_(experimental conditions).txt. For example:
Fig9_260m.txt
| |_data of the curve corresponding to a sliding length of 260m
|_______for Fig.9

The curves in Figures 9, 10 and 12 describe the characterized tip profile as a function of the horizontal position of the tip.
The curve in Figure 11 describes the volume loss as a function of the sliding distance.

Files with the extension .txt are space-separated tabular data which can be opened with any text editor.
