Abstract: For large area standard precision patterning a thermo optical lithographic system 3 is used. For small area higher precision nanoscale patterning a thermal scanning probe lithographic system 7 comprising a heated raster scanning probe tip 34 is used. In this manner a thermally sensitive photoresist can be efficiently patterned with composite large area low resolution and small area high resolution patterns.

Abstract: A method for positioning nano-objects on a surface and an apparatus for implementing the method. The method includes: providing a first surface and a second surface in a position facing each other, where one or more of the surfaces exhibits one or more position structures having dimensions on the nanoscale; providing an ionic liquid suspension of the nano-objects between the two surfaces, where the suspension comprises two electrical double layers each formed at an interface with a respective one of the two surfaces, and the surfaces have electrical charges of the same sign; enabling the nano-objects in the suspension to position according to a potential energy resulting from the electrical charge of the two surfaces; and depositing one or more of the nano-objects on the first surface according to the positioning structures by shifting the minima of the potential energy towards the first surface.

Abstract: A microsystem, comprising a first static element (1), a second, movable and unattached element (2), an actuator (3) for effecting a force between the first and the second element (1, 2), which actuator (3) is designed for controlling a temperature (T1, T2) of one of the first element (1) and the second element (2). A corresponding method for positioning a second element (2) with respect to a first element (1) in a microsystem is introduced.
