Lithography: Scanning Probe Lithography

This lecture explores alternative lithography methods that enable rapid prototyping at the nanometer scale, including scanning probe lithography, nano imprint lithography, soft lithography, and stencil lithography. It discusses the similarities between lithography and microscopy, the principles behind scanning probe lithography, and the potential applications of this technique in nano-fabrication. The lecture also delves into thermal scanning probe lithography, detailing how it works, its unique features, and the benefits it offers compared to traditional lithography techniques.
