Dynamic-mode atomic force microscopy (DFM) combined with Kelvin probe force microscopy (KFM) has been a powerful tool not only for imaging surface topography but also for investigating surface potential on a nanometer-scale resolution. We have developed DFM / KFM using a microfabricated cantilever with a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoelectric thin (cid:12)lm used as a de(cid:13)ection sensor. The observed sample can be in a completely dark environment because no optics are required for cantilever de(cid:13)ection sensing in our experimental setup, which is also equipped with a mechanism to irradiate ultraviolet (UV) light onto the sample. We prepared a platinum-on-silicon substrate and deposited fullerene-derivative (PCBM; [6,6]-Phenyl-C 61 -Butyric Acid Methyl Ester) (cid:12)lm patterns by vacuum evaporation with two shadow masks in crossed directions. The energy band diagram with band-bending, it was created by simultaneously obtaining topographic and surface potential images of the same area using the developed DFM / KFM.
