Apparently, an STM can be used to deposit patterns of metal onto surfaces:

[...] Another practical application of STM is atomic deposition of metals (gold, silver, tungsten, etc.) with any desired (pre-programmed) pattern, which can be used as contacts to nanodevices or as nanodevices themselves. (Wikipedia)

This could be very interesting for our chip making endeavours. We should investigate it!
