Abstract:
We describe a method to pattern arbitrary-shaped silane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with nm scale resolution using DNA nanostructures as templates. The DNA nanostructures assembled on a silicon substrate act as a soft-mask to negatively pattern SAMs. Mixed SAMs can be prepared by back filling the negative tone patterns with a different silane.
