We report recent improvements of the tip-on-gate of field-effect-transistor (ToGoFET) probe used for capacitive measurement. Probe structure, fabrication, and signal processing were modified. The inbuilt metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOSFET) was redesigned to ensure reliable probe operation. Fabrication was based on the standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process, and trench formation and the channel definition were modified. Demodulation of the amplitude-modulated drain current was varied, enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. The - characteristics of the inbuilt MOSFET reflect the design and fabrication modifications, and measurement of a buried electrode revealed improved ToGoFET imaging performance. The minimum measurable value was enhanced 20-fold.

We have examined the capabilities of a Tip-On-Gate of Field-Effect Transistor (ToGoFET) probe for characterization of FIB-induced damage in Si surface. A ToGoFET probe is the SPM probe which the Field Effect Transistor(FET) is embedded at the end of a cantilever and a Pt tip was mounted at the gate of FET. The ToGoFET probe can detect the surface electrical properties by measuring source-drain current directly modulated by the charge on the tip.

We propose a method for measuring the capacitance of a thin layer using a Tip-on-Gate of Field-Effect Transistor (ToGoFET) probe. A ToGoFET probe with a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with an ion-implant channel was embedded at the end of a cantilever and a Pt tip was fabricated using micro-machining. The ToGoFET probe was used to detect an alternating electric field at the dielectric surface.
