A method is disclosed for the manufacture of colloidal rod particles as nanobarcodes. Template membranes for the deposition of materials are prepared using photolithographic techniques.

An engraved plate which includes a substrate and an insulating layer on a surface of the substrate wherein a concave portion which increases in width toward an opening and to which the substrate is exposed is formed at the insulating layer, and an engraved plate, a substrate with conductor layer pattern manufactured by a transferring method using the engraved plate, and a conductor layer pattern are provided.

Synthetic methods for the manufacture of segmented nanoparticles are described.

Probe-based methods are provided for formation of one or more nano-sized or micro-sized elongated structures such as wires or tubes. The structures extend at least partially upwards from the surface of a substrate, and may extend fully upward from the substrate surface. The structures are formed via a localized electrodeposition technique. The electrodeposition technique of the invention can also be used to make modified scanning probe microscopy probes having an elongated nanostructure at the tip or conductive nanoprobes. Apparatus suitable for use with the electrodeposition technique are also provided.

An engraved plate is provided with a base material and an insulating layer on the surface of the base material. On the insulating layer, a recessed section, which has a width that increases toward the opening and has the base material exposed, is formed. A base material having a conductor layer pattern and the conductor layer pattern manufactured by a transfer method by using the engraved plate are also provided.

Disclosed herein are electrochemical fabrication platforms for making structures, arrays of structures and functional devices having selected nanosized and / or microsized physical dimensions, shapes and spatial orientations. Methods, systems and system components use an electrochemical stamping tool such as solid state polymeric electrolytes for generating patterns of relief and / or recessed features exhibiting excellent reproducibility, pattern fidelity and resolution on surfaces of solid state ionic conductors and in metal. Electrochemical stamping tools are capable high throughput patterning of large substrate areas, are compatible with commercially attractive manufacturing pathways to access a range of functional systems and devices including nano- and micro-electromechanical systems, sensors, energy storage devices, metal masks for printing, interconnects, and integrated electronic circuits.
