Abstract :The design and production of advanced array technologies, referred also as "biochips”, have attracted tremendousinterest of the scientific community due to the broad application possibilities of these materials especially in the lifesciences. It is especially useful in detection of multiple targets of biologic origin. Patterning of substrate surfaces isone of the major steps in the preparation of the arrays. Several techniques for the preparation of array platforms havebeen developed. Here, the basic information on nanotechnological approaches using atomic force microscope AFM ,i.e., dip-pen lithography, conducting AFM lithography, nanoshaving and nanografting, are briefly described
Keywords : Array platforms, nanotechnology, AFM based techniques
