We construct an independently driven double-tip scanning tunneling microscope (STM) for evaluating electrical conduction within the micrometer scale under an ambient condition. Each independently driven STM unit has on atomic resolution and the tip approaches an intended position within 10 mm2 on the surface with three course driving stages and a piezoelectric device which has a maximum scan area of 10 µm. The current flow between the two tips through the material can be detected in the range from 0.1 pA to 100 nA. The measurement of the resistivity of regiorandom poly(3-octylthiophene) thin films was demonstrated using this system.
