E-DPN technique can be used to directly fabricate metal and semiconductor features with nanometer dimensions.
tiny water meniscus as a nanometer-sized electrochemical cell in which metal salts can be dissolved, reduced into metals electrochemically, and deposited on the surface

10. Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN)
Polymer Pen Lithography (PPL)
In contrast with DPN and other SPM-based lithographies, which typically use hard silicon– based cantilevers, PPL uses elastomeric tips without cantilevers [typically polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)] to deliver ink.
A typical polymer pen array contains thousands of pyramid-shaped tips that are made with a master prepared by conventional photolithography and subsequent wet chemical etching.

13. Block copolymer Science, 251, 898 (1991)
Diblock copolymers consist of two chemically different polymer chains (or blocks) joined by a covalent bond
Because of connectivity constraints and the incompatibility between the two blocks, diblock copolymers spontaneously self-assemble into microphase-separated nanometer-sized domains that exhibit ordered morphologies at equilibrium. .
