ABSTRACT:
The application relates to a method of depositing a patterning species from a nanoscopic tip to a substrate surface. The method is carried out at a sufficiently high humidity to facilitate the deposition. The deposition of the patterning species is facilitated by a polysaccharide carrier as well as an additional additive.
