    Abstract: A patterned structure forms a portion of the mold for a diamond molded structure but is separable from the mold by the same processes that release the diamond part. The mold portion may itself be a component in a MEMS or NEMS structure or device or the precursor to such a structure or device. The mold portion may be made from sapphire or silicon carbide. The mold portion may be coated and polished to obtain an optically smooth surface over the diamond mold inside pit. The coating may be formed from one or more of silicon carbide, PTFE, silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, sapphire, a metal, a plastic, and an epoxy.

    Abstract: A cantilever probe for scanning a sample surface comprises a cantilever having a free end and a fixed end. A first support section is disposed at the free end and extends along a first plane. A probe is formed on the first support section for scanning movement relative to the sample surface. A second support section is disposed at the fixed end and extends along a second plane different from the first plane. A beam section interconnects the first support member and the second support member to one another and extends along a third plane different from the first and second planes.

    Abstract: A method for making a carbon nanotube micro-tip structure is disclosed. A carbon nanotube film structure and an insulting substrate are provided. The insulating substrate includes a surface. At least one strip-shaped recess is defined at the surface. The carbon nanotube film structure is covered on the surface of the insulating substrate, and has a suspended portion covered on the at least one strip-shaped recess. The suspended portion of the carbon nanotube film structure is laser etched, to define a first hollow pattern in the suspended portion and form a patterned carbon nanotube film structure according to the first hollow pattern. The patterned carbon nanotube film structure includes two strip-shaped arms. The two strip-shaped arms are joined at one end to form a tip portion. The tip portion is suspended above the strip-shaped recess.
