Scanning Probe Contact Printing

We have increased the functionality of Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) probes by introducing new tip materials.  Traditional SPM tips are made of metals, semiconductors, of oxide and nitride materials.  We have developed a new probe with the tip being soft elastomer (e.g., PDMS).  The shank of the probe is a mode of an inorganic material.
