Abstract

We developed a recursive image charge approach for quantitative characterizations of dielectric thin films using the scanning tip microwave near-field microscope. With this method, frequency shift of the microscope as functions of the dielectric constant and the thickness of a film can be effectively computed in a recursive way. We believe that this approach can promote the high-throughput characterization of the dielectric libraries.
