Direct-write lithography on a 100 nm scale has been carried out using
the near-field optical interaction between an uncoated tapered fiber t
ip and a layer of photoresist. This allows both lithography and shear
force microscopic examination of the surface, which reveals morphologi
cal changes in the photoresist before development. (C) 1995 American I
