This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. It was not clear how the provided references support the requested text, because the exact passages which verify the requested prose have not been provided.

The section on probe-based maskless lithography is missing information.

Since I am affiliated to a company making tools for thermal probe nanolithography, I only suggest the following edit

Scanning Probe Lithography edit

Scanning probes, or AFM-tips, can be also used to pattern or modify materials. For example:

Due to a wider range of tip-sample interaction forces, scanning probe lithography can be used both for nanopatterning^[1]^[2]^[3] and device fabrication as well as for inducing local chemical^[4] or physical changes^[5].

Given that scanning an unheated tip does not result in height changes, this loss is primarily caused by intrinsic chemical conversion rather than mechanical removal.

Clarification requested

In order to better process your request, please place the verbatim text from the provided sources under the |quote= parameter of each citation's template. Only text which directly verifies the requested claims should be placed under this parameter. This text ought to constitute only the minimum amount needed to verify the claims (one or two sentences maximum per reference).
When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change the {{request edit}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=yes to |ans=no. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation of how to add verification text. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Edit request declined

In each instance where the requested text which verifies the proposed text was asked to be added via the quote parameter, only the first sentence of each article has been added.^[a]
The request was to add the precise text from the provided sources which verifies the proposed text. As the sentence states Due to a wider range of tip-sample interaction forces, scanning probe lithography can be used both for nanopatterning and device fabrication as well as for inducing local chemical or physical changes. Ostensibly, the quoted text from the provided sources should state how and in what way each lithography technique is able to accomplish the sort of nanopatterning, device fabrication, and local chemical and physical changes described in the proposed text.

Notes

^ In all four instances, only text from the article's abstract sections were provided. While giving some essence of the conclusions of the reports, an article's absract section only provides a brief summary, and does not contain the "meat" of the article in full form, as it were. For example, in one abstract it states "we introduce a new technology relying on sharp three-dimensional (3D) metal tips that allows for the reliable relocation of few atoms in both volatile and non-volatile ECM Cells." What this abstract does not detail that the full article does, is how 3D metal tips allow for the "reliable relocation of few atoms in both volatile and non-volatile ECM Cells". In another abstract it states "In this work, we demonstrate the fundamental building blocks of spin-waves circuitry" and yet that demonstration — which is the "meat" of the article, and arguably what makes or breaks the article as a sound source to use in the maskless lithography Wikipedia article — is not described in the abstract.
