Nanopatterning on silicon surface using atomic force microscopy with diamond-like carbon (DLC)-coated Si probe

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Atomic force microscope (AFM) equipped with diamond-like carbon (DLC)-coated Si probe has been used for scratch nanolithography on Si surfaces. The effect of scratch direction, applied tip force, scratch speed, and number of scratches on the size of the scratched...
