The nanostructures such as nanodots nanolines surface mesas and nanowords can be produced on the target surface by programming the tip traces according to the demanded patterns. The height of these nanostructures increases with the increase of the number of scratching cycles or the normal load. Transmission electron microscope observations indicated that the lattice distortion and dislocations induced by the mechanical interaction may have played a dominating role in the formation of the protrusive nanostructures on quartz surfaces. Further analysis reveals that during scratching a contact pressure ranged from to Py Py is the critical yield pressure of quartz is apt to produce protuberant nanostructures on quartz under the given experimental conditions. Finally it is of great interest to find that the protrusive nanostructures can be selectively dissolved in 20 KOH solution. Since the nanowords can be easily written by friction-induced fabrication and erased through selective etching on a quartz surface this friction-induced method opens up new opportunities for future nanofabrication. Introduction Due to its high fundamental frequencies high Q property and excellent piezoelectric behaviour quartz has been widely used to produce sensors in micro nano electromechanical systems MEMS NEMS such as accelerometer pressure sensor gyro sensor crystal oscillator and tuning fork biosensor etc. 1-5 . Moreover quartz is also an ideal .
