- Abstract
An ex-situ tracking technique for atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used for investigating repeatedly the imaging of some specific spaces on the whole substrate with a high relocation accuracy of tens of nanometers. As an example of the application of this technique, AFM ex-situ study of the morphology transition induced by solvent treatment in a block copolymer thin film has been carried out. By using single-wall carbon nanotube independent of microdomain patterns, even if the morphology of the block copolymer has been changed completely after a certain treatment, the previous imaged spot can be found easily.
