Summary:A dimensional artifact is developed, which is a chromium (Cr) deposition grating fabricated by a laser-focused atomic deposition technique. The mean pitch of the grating is measured by using a metrological atomic force microscope with a large range, where a series of reference signs have been performed to locate the deposition area. Cosine error of the measurement result is analyzed and eliminated by the iterative angle calibration. The measurement result shows that the mean pitch of the grating is 212.66 ±0.02nm, which is very close to half of the standing laser wavelength (λ = 425.55 nm). This means that the grating has traceability with high accuracy and can substitute the laser interference technology for instrument calibration. Moreover, using the Cr deposition grating as a nano standard can shorten the traceability chain and improve the practical application.
