A positive‐tone 2D direct‐write technique that can achieve sub‐wavelength patterning by non‐linear overlap effects in a conventional polymer system is described. The technique involves relatively inexpensive free‐space optics, skips the usual development step, and promises the possibility of a lithographic method that is solvent‐free.
