On a patterned organic methyl-terminated monolayer or multilayer film self-assembled on solid substrate, a pattern consisting of a site-defined surface chemical modification non-destructively inscribed in the organic monolayer or multilayer by means of an electrically biased conducting scanning probe device, stamping device and/or liquid metal or metal alloy or any other device that can touch the organic monolayer or multilayer surface and inscribe therein a chemical modification pattern upon application of an electrical bias. An nanoshuchere composed of a conductive material, e.g. metal, is created on top or in between said monolayer or multilayer. |
