Abstract
An integrated electromechanical disc drive system for creating nanoscale patterns comprises a spinning disc coated with a liquid or solid film and at least one flying integrated write head, said write head being attached to a pivoted swing arm and comprising a heating tip locally exerting heat when a current is driven through it; and at least one electrically conductive electrode tip which functions as an electrostatic atomic force tip capable of exerting an electric field between the tip and the disc.
