Conclusions
Scanned Probe Oxidation
Began at NIST in 1989Electrical bias between a conducting tip
and a substrate induces a highly localized enhanced oxidation.
Typical line width: 10~20nm

Generating an Etch Resistant “Resist” Layer from Common Solvents
The height of n-octane: 2.5nm (40% higher than the case of water)
After etching, the height of step: 8.5nm

High-Field Scanning Probe Lithography in Hexadecane - Hydrophobocity
Surface hydrophobocity
determines the deposited material.
Hydrophilic SiO2
Hydrophobic n-octane
Oxidation of the silicon surface
occurs in the meniscus formed by
the water dissolved in the fluid,
with minimal effects on the
reaction from the surrounding
solvents

High-Field Scanning Probe Lithography in Hexadecane - Hydrophobocity
Etching makes trenches on hydrophilic surface and tall posts on hydrophobic surface.

High-Field Scanning Probe Lithography in Hexadecane – PEEM analysis
Although there are only small differences in features of the local spectra, carbon content information was obtained1st and 2nd peak: C=C double bond3rd peak: hybridized carbon atoms

Cons and ProsCons
Can make nano patterns without optical apparatus
Can control deposited material by hydrophobocity of the surface
Can make arbitrary patterns by controlling the trajectory of AFM tip
ProsLow throughput: serial scan and low speed
Multiple tipsSmall scan area
ConclusionsScanning probe oxidation can make
nanowire, SET, etc.By using an organic solvent, the organic
material can be deposited on the surface.The hydrophobocity determines the
deposited materialHydrophilic surface SiO2Hydrophobic surface hydrocarbon
By PEEM analysis, the deposited material on the hydrophobic surface has carbon components.
