We report scanning probe microscope (SPM) nanolithography that uses thin films patternable by scanning probe anodization as resists. An organosilane monolayer composed of trimethylsilyl [−Si(CH3)3] groups was prepared by chemical vapor deposition on a Si substrate. It was then patterned through the localized degradation of the monolayer as a result of anodic reactions induced beneath a SPM tip. The fabricated patterns on the resist were transferred into the substrate Si by area‐selective chemical etching in an aqueous NH4F/H2O2 solution. Consequently, grooves narrower than 100 nm were successfully fabricated. We have also developed another resist system for SPM lithography that is compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including insulators. The resist consisted of a thin Ti film covered with a fluoroalkylsilane monolayer. The monolayer was degraded along a tip‐scanning trace. This patterned resist was etched in a dilute HF solution. The chemical etching of the underlying Ti film proceeded selectively i...
