Abstract

We developed a scanning microwave microscope (SμM) designed for characterizing local electric properties at low temperatures. A high-Q λ/4coaxial cavity was used as a sensor probe, which can detect the change of quality factor due to the tip-sample interaction with enough accuracy. From the measurements of combinatorial samples, it was demonstrated that this SμM system has enough performance for high-throughput characterization of sample conductance under variable temperature conditions.
