A nanometer-sized ethyl alcohol meniscus induced between a conductive atomic force microscope tip and a silicon surface (see Figure) allows the fabrication of nanodots or nanowires of SiCx at a predetermined position on the substrate. The meniscus size and kinetic parameters control the nanostructure size.
