Scanning Probe Lithography (SPL) is a versatile technique in nanotechnology for creating nanoscale patterns and structures. It employs a sharp probe to manipulate surface properties at the atomic or molecular level, enabling high-resolution patterning. SPL encompasses a range of methods including Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) lithography, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) lithography, and Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN).
