Many of the basic fabrication methods for single walled nanotube production have come from research out of Rice University. While most of Rice’s patents have previously focused on the single walled carbon nanotube type, a recent set of issued patents based on continuations (with priority going back to the 1990’s) have extended the patent coverage [...]

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7419764.html
In order to achieve sub-100 nm processing in coming years one alternative is nanoimprint lithography. Nanoimprint lithography uses a mold to transfer a pattern onto an opposing substrate. This patent from S. Korea’s Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute teaches a method for forming a nanoimprint mold using photolithography to form the larger (>100nm) features and [...]

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7419887.html
This patent teaches a new type of nanofabrication process involving the focusing of a laser beam width to nanometer dimensions and using the laser to fuse nanoparticles deposited via a nanosize pore. Claim 1 reads:
1. The process of forming a nano structure on a substrate, comprising:
suspending nano particles in a suspension fluid;
applying a pressure to [...]
