Abstract
Nanolithographic deposition of metallic nanostructures using coated tips for use in microelectronics, catalysis, and diagnostics. AFM tips can be coated with metallic precursors and the precursors patterned on substrates. The patterned precursors can be converted to the metallic state with application of heat. High resolution and excellent alignment can be achieved.
