Disclosed herein are an automatic landing method for a scanning probe microscope and an automatic landing apparatus using the same. The method comprises irradiating light to a cantilever using a light source; collecting interference fringes generated by the light being diffracted from the edge of the cantilever and then being incident to a surface of the sample; driving the tip in the sample direction until the pattern of the interference fringes reaches a predetermined pattern region (first driving); and driving the tip in the sample direction after the interference fringe pattern reached the predetermined pattern region (second driving). The method in accordance with the present invention is very effective particularly for samples having a large surface area, because it enables automatic landing of a tip according to recognition and selection of an optimal time point for individual landing steps, irrespective of adverse changes in landing conditions, such as surface irregularities of samples. Further, the present invention enables a very inexpensive and effective application of a scanning probe microscope (SPM), because it is possible to achieve rapid and reliable driving of a tip to within an approximate distance of a sample.

An apparatus and method for providing an input signal having a desired pulse width and amplitude to atomic force miscoscopes (AFMs) for use in nano-lithography are provided. An input signal providing apparatus for a contact type AFM includes: a pulse width adjusting unit which adjusts the width of a positive pulse of an input square wave to a predetermined pulse width; and an amplitude adjusting unit which adjusts the amplitude of the positive pulse of the square wave to a predetermined voltage. An input signal providing method for the contact type AFM uses the apparatus having this structure. An input signal providing apparatus for a non-contact type AFM further includes a square pulse generating unit which generates a square pulse having a predetermined phase in synchronization with an input resonance signal, and an input signal providing method for the non-contact type AFM further involves generating the square pulse having a predetermined phase in synchronization with the input resonance signal. As a result, more precise nano-lithography can be achieved using an AFM to which the apparatus and method described above are applied.
