Abstract: Through the systemic study on AFM nano-machining of single crystal silicon with a diamond tip, the surface deformation and material removal mechanisms on nanometer scale and at ultralow loads are analyzed. Beyond that, the contact mechanism existed between the AFM diamond tip and the material surface is simulated by finite element method. The experimental results prove the FEM’s validity applied in the contact analysis.
