| Abstract Scope |
The need for accelerated nanometrology becomes more pressing with the rise of advanced manufacturing technologies, and bottlenecks exist in both data acquisition and processing. Machine learning (ML)-driven image reconstruction offers a solution to accelerate data processing and eliminate imaging artifacts. Here, a novel training workflow called AFM-net is presented for an image reconstruction ML model, applied to atomic force microscopy (AFM), that enables data augmentation far exceeding experimental capabilities. The results show AFM-net produces high quality reconstructions and achieves accurate height predictions from AFM measurements. Critically, AFM-net accelerates data processing by 75x to 500x over traditional methods. The modularity of AFM-net also makes it adaptable to new data types with minimal tuning. |
