Scanning Probe Lithography: Nanoscale Applications
This lecture covers the principles and applications of Scanning Probe Lithography (SPL) in nanotechnology, focusing on techniques such as Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) and Thermal Scanning Probe Lithography. It discusses the influence of surface wettability, the history of thermal SPL, and the characterization of droplet diameter. The presentation also delves into data storage technologies, including the Millipede concept and the roadmap for advanced storage. Furthermore, it explores thermomechanical writing with an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and the operation of the Millipede system developed by IBM Research.
