The technique does not involve photoresist processing steps and is therefore applicable on arbitrary surfaces. It allows for rapid fabrication of sub-micron structures on a milimeter scale. The nanostencils used here are thin microfabricated silicon nitride membranes, 1 × 3 mm wide and 0.3–1.0 μm thick. They are peforated by a regular two-dimensional array of sub-micron apertures of 1 μm periode. Metal evaporation of 40 nm thick Cr/Au through the apertures directly onto the substrate yields the exact 1:1 replication of the aperture pattern. The smallest dot size on a flat substrate obtained is 120 nm, whereas 750 nm dots are reproduced, both on free-standing micromechanical beams and on a surface recessed by 5–10 μm.
