Nanometer‐scale manipulation of surfaces by scanning probe devices has expanded amazingly since the first reports in the mid‐1980s. General approaches to scanning probe microscope induced surface patterning are discussed. The Figure shows a scanning electron micrograph of an STM‐defined pattern of a HS(CH2)17CH3 monolayer resist on a Au(111) substrate. magnified image
