The “Millipede”—More than thousand tips for future AFM storage

Parallel Imaging and Template‐Free Patterning of Self‐Assembled Monolayers with Soft Linear Microelectrode Arrays

“…[21][22][23] However, the sequential nature makes all probe-induced modifications slow and presents a decisive disadvantage for many applications-even in the research laboratory. This problem has been addressed for scanning force microscopy (SFM) by the millipede [24] and parallel dip-pen nanolithography concepts. [25] Parallel electrode arrays have also been used with fixed arrangements of the individual electrodes but without lateral repositioning of the array.…”

Seeing Big with Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy

“…A third strategy is to use multiple probe arrays, which have already been applied to AFM imaging of large areas with a clear decrease of the recording time. 55,56 A similar approach with SECM used a 2D microelectrode array to image samples in the generation-collection mode. 57 The problem of diffusional shielding of individual electrodes was solved for a confined etchant layer technique by periodically renewing the solution between probes and sample and limiting the extension of the diffusion layer with a homogeneous scavenger reaction.…”

“…We envisage the development of a range of AFM probes with integrated electrodes of different geometry, position, material, and size for different applications. For increased imaging speed and measurement capabilities, the production of multicantilever arrays, or "millipedes" (44), is particularly interesting, and the integration of electrodes into this type of device would provide an extremely attractive surface probe for multifunctional electrochemical imaging.…”
