Typical QC chart for an SPM

Evaluate the drift in magnification over time:

drift in scanner sensitivity

We scanned a 288 nm pitch calibration standard and analyzed the results using Calibrator Pro™. This graph shows that the apparent magnification drifted upward before recalibration. For 10 months after recalibration, the magnification was nearly constant. The standard error of mean was about 0.8 nm.

Interestingly, the standard deviation was approximately constant over the same time interval:
