Large area, homogeneous array fabrication including controlled tip loading vapor deposition

摘要

Improved methods for loading arrays of tips with a material for subsequent deposition of the material from the tip to the substrate. Tip loading can be done by controlled vapor deposition which reduces the amount of non-specific material deposition onto a substrate. Improved nanoscale and microscale engineering and lithography can be achieved. Applications include better cellular studies including stem cell studies and stem cell differentiation control.
