Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is a scanning probe
nanopatterning technique in which an AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) tip is used
to deliver molecules to a surface via a solvent meniscus, which naturally forms
in the ambient atmosphere. This direct-write technique offers high-resolution
patterning capabilities for a number of molecular and biomolecular "inks" on a
variety of substrate types such as metals, semiconductors, and monolayer
functionalized surfaces.
