Note: The tip of a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) or Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) offers not only the ability to image down to atomic resolution, but also the capabilities of nanostructures with such excellent resolution. A paradigmatic example is the fabrication of a furnace furnace by manipulating individual atoms on a surface using STM. Although the speed of making such a thing has recently improved, it is a process with great difficulties in scaling and integrating with the semiconductor industry.The use of AFM for scanning probe lithography also suffers from power-related problems, but it is better suited than STM for this task due to the less stringent requirements of the technique: no very high vacuum conditions. , conductive surface or very good tip-to-sample distance control is required. Scanning probe nanolithography based on AFM can be performed through different mechanisms and offers a wide range of possibilities . Therefore, the AFM tip can produce localized changes in the composition, height, or physical/chemical properties of surfaces through thermal effects, mechanical effects, deposition, chemical effects, etc. The principle of this technique for making electronic nano devices has been drawn and the example of making Si nanowires based on the oxidation of nanolithography probe Scanning is done. A derived technique that has become very popular is dip-pen nanolithography, in which the tip deposits specific inks with excellent clarity at desired locations.
Note: Scanning Nano Lithography or Scanning Nano Lithography  enables the original or improved nano pattern in applied fields ranging from quantum technologies to material science.In particular, ultra-fast and highly localized thermal processing of surfaces can be achieved through a sharp heating tip to create high-resolution patterns. Many possible applications of nanoscale modifications with thermal probes such as Scanning Nano Lithography are still applicable in nanoelectronics, especially when which can use extremely high heating and cooling rates.Many microsystems and nanosystems require precise nanoscale patterns that exhibit intrinsic functionality, such as some electronic properties. , photonic, chemical and mechanical. To make these nanoscale patterns, electron beam lithography is the most common lithography technique without direct writing and without mask.Scanning Nano Lithography A complex electron compatible optic is required to focus the electron beam into a spot of a few nanometers. Another issue is electron scattering, a kind of proximity effect, on the surface of the sample, which leads to the exposure of additional undesirable resistivity that must be corrected by intensive calculation algorithms. Scanning Nano Lithography is another method of direct writing nanolithography, where patterns are created by scanning a nanometer tip on the sample to create local changes.  Sample-sample interactions are numerous and can include mechanical, electrical, diffusion, and thermal effects.
