Automated Lithographic Patterning Via Anodic Oxidation On Silicon Substrate

AFM is able to form localized oxide structures by applying a negative voltage through the tip, which acts like a \'pen\' to \'draw\' oxide lines on the substrate surface. This provides a simple and low cost technique to create nanoscale oxide patterns. However, the lack of contro...
