Massively parallel scanning-probe based methods have been used to address the challenges of nanometer to millimeter scale printing, and thus revolutionize the conventional scanning probe-based nanofabrication. Such tools enable simple, high-throughput, and low-cost nano-patterning, which allow researchers to rapidly synthesize and study systems ranging from nanoparticle synthesis to biological processes. In this regard, we have developed a novel scanning probe-based cantilever-free printing method termed hard-tip, soft-spring lithography (HSL), which uses an massive array of Si tips to transfer materials and energy in a direct-write manner onto a variety of surfaces. Various related techniques such as graphene-coated and actuation of HSL are also discussed.
