Scanning probe lithography[1] (SPL) describes a set of nanolithographic methods to pattern material on the nanoscale using scanning probes. It is a direct-write, mask-less approach which bypasses the diffraction limit and can reach resolutions below 10 nm. [2] It is considered an alternative lithographic technology often used in academic and ...
Dip pen nanolithography (DPN) is a scanning probe lithography technique where an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip is used to directly create patterns on a substrate. [1] It can be done on a range of substances with a variety of inks. A common example of this technique is exemplified by the use of alkane thiolates to imprint onto a gold surface ...
Thermal polymer decomposition. Thermal scanning probe lithography (t-SPL) is a form of scanning probe lithography [1] (SPL) whereby material is structured on the nanoscale using scanning probes, primarily through the application of thermal energy. Related fields are thermo-mechanical SPL (see also Millipede memory), thermochemical SPL[2][3] (or ...
Thermochemical nanolithography ( TCNL) or thermochemical scanning probe lithography ( tc-SPL) is a scanning probe microscopy -based nanolithography technique which triggers thermally activated chemical reactions to change the chemical functionality or the phase of surfaces. Chemical changes can be written very quickly through rapid probe ...
Bottom image shows atomic model (colors: grey, carbon; white, hydrogen; red, oxygen; blue, nitrogen). [1] Non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM), also known as dynamic force microscopy (DFM), is a mode of atomic force microscopy, which itself is a type of scanning probe microscopy. In nc-AFM a sharp probe is moved close (order of ...
Nanoelectronics. Nanolithography (NL) is a growing field of techniques within nanotechnology dealing with the engineering (patterning e.g. etching, depositing, writing, printing etc) of nanometer -scale structures on various materials. The modern term reflects on a design of structures built in range of 10 −9 to 10 −6 meters, i.e. nanometer ...
Self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of organic molecules are molecular assemblies formed spontaneously on surfaces by adsorption and are organized into more or less large ordered domains. [ 1 ][ 2 ] In some cases molecules that form the monolayer do not interact strongly with the substrate. This is the case for instance of the two-dimensional ...
Scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that maps the local temperature and thermal conductivity of an interface. The probe in a scanning thermal microscope is sensitive to local temperatures – providing a nano-scale thermometer. Thermal measurements at the nanometer scale are of both scientific and ...
