High Resolution Calibration Standards: Overview
Applied Nanotools provides calibration standards for X-ray, EUV, and visible light microscopes for the highest resolution applications. These high-quality optical components include various calibration elements, which can be seen in the following SEM images:

ANT Design
The ANT calibration standard is designed for the highest resolution requirements of X-ray imaging systems with nanoscale features. Suitable for soft X-ray and hard X-ray mechanisms as well as optical settings.
Nested Ls
Nested Ls or bends allow for high-resolution measurements, ensuring spacing and efficiency. Under high-resolution standards, the spacing is as low as 15 nm half spacing.
Siemen star
This pattern allows for calibration and accurate comparison of the optical resolution of X-rays with other imaging methods.

Customized film/substrate
The calibration standard is manufactured on a sturdy low stress silicon nitride film on a standard 5 mm x 5 mm frame. The fused silica substrate can be used for optical microscopes with chromium characteristics.


custom design
Customized design can add facility logos with high-resolution functionality (recommended minimum component size is 50 nm). Graphics must be provided in GDSII, EPS, or vector format for optimal resolution. If you need assistance with logo submission, please contact us.
