Materials progress: Heated AFM tip enables printing nanometer patterns

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract

The thermal dip-pen nanolithography is a heated atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip in which solid inks are melted to control the location and deposition rate. The technology differs from conventional dip-pen nanolithography, in which the ink is a liquid that flows as long as the pen is in contact with the substrate.
