With an atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip used as a "nib" and gold colloidal particles as "ink", pattes of gold colloidal particles have been deposited successfully from tie AFM tip onto specific regions of silicon surfaces modified by bifunctional mercaptosilane, i.e. (3-mercaptopropyl)-triethoxysilane. This was used as an adhesion agent and can immobilize nanoparticles delivered from the AFM tip onto the substrate surface.
