Nanolithography with use of viewports

摘要

Two dimensional arrays of cantilevers for use in transferring inks from the cantilever tip to substrates are improved with use of viewports to view the cantilevers from a far side. This improves the leveling behavior when large numbers of cantilevers are present. It also provides for better laser access. Bioarrays and combinatorial applications are particularly important. Massively parallel direct write printing with more than 55,000 cantilever tips can be achieved.
