Abstract
Articles exhibiting fabricated structures with nanometer size scale features (nanostructures), typically a device comprising nanostructures of a functional material on or in a substrate of dissimilar material, are produced by a method employing a substrate base or coating and a thin layer serving as a lithographic mask or template, consisting of a self-assembled ordered material array, typically a periodic array of molecules such as undenatured proteins, exhibiting holes, thickness or density variations. It is possible to produce complex structures containing large numbers of nanometers scale elements through a small number of simple steps.
