Scanning probe lithography

Scanning probe lithography describe a set of lithographic methods in which a microscopic stylus is mechanically moved across a surface to form a pattern, either by mechanically deforming a soft film on the surface designed for this purpose (nanoimprint lithography), or by transferring a chemical species to the surface (Dip Pen Nanolithography).
