Precision nanoscale deposition of biological, organic, and inorganic materials is a fundamental need in nanoscience research. Relative to other nanopatterning techniques, dip-pen nanolithography-DPN is a direct-write technique maintaining high resolution (30 nm line widths, 50 nm pitches), and among sub-50 nm techniques, DPN is the only one that can directly deposit molecules under ambient conditions. A wide variety of biological, organic and inorganic materials can be deposited. We will discuss the development of a silver nanoparticle based ink for the writing of conductive metal traces, as well as recent developments in "Just Add DNA" inks for DNA nanopatterning for the making of DNA nanoarrays. We demonstrate results of DPN patterning with these two inks using NanoInk’s one dimensional probe arrays, and microfluidic ink delivery tools. We discuss the implications of these results and tools in furthering the application of dip-pen nanolithography as a large scale, multi-ink patterning tool, including recent developments for massively parallel patterning using the two-dimensional nanoprint array (2DnPA).
