Abstract

The process of using electron beam induced stimulated desorption chemistry to produce structures of nanometer order size on surfaces. By passivating a reconstructed surface and selectively removing such passivation with an electron beam through the electron stimulated desorption effect, the adsorption of other atoms and/or molecules is controlled at predetermined regions and/or lines on the surface.
