Subject field(s)
  • Lithography, Offset Printing and Collotype
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is a scanning probe lithography technique where an atomic force microscope tip is used to transfer molecules to a surface via a solvent meniscus. This technique allows surface patterning on scales of under 100 nanometres.

OBS

Meniscus, plural: menisci, from the Greek for "crescent," is a curve in the surface of a molecular substance and is produced in response to the surface of the container or another object. It can be either concave or convex. A convex meniscus occurs when the molecules have a stronger attraction to each other than to the container.

Key term(s)

CONT

El sistema de nanolitografía por dip-pen se compone de un microscopio de fuerza atómica (Atomic Force Microscope, AFM), una cabina de control ambiental (temperatura y humedad relativa) y el software de control adecuado para realizar nanolitografía. El proceso de dip-pen permite depositar compuestos como biomoléculas, resinas, polímeros y otros materiales con resolución nanométrica y sin necesidad de máscaras […]
