摘要
We describe a flexible technique for fabricating 10-nm-scale devices for use as high-resolution scanning sensors and functional probes. Metallic structures are deposited directly onto atomic force microscope tips by evaporation through nanoscale holes fabricated in a stencil mask. We report on the lithographic capabilities of the technique and discuss progress in one initial application, to make high-spatial-resolution magnetic force sensors.
