“…Compared to the previous techniques, SL has a lower resolution and the patterning area is limited by the size and stability of the membranes; nevertheless, SL has been used to pattern metallic dots <50 nm in diameter with chip size stencils 16,19 and areas up to 1 × 3 mm 2 have been patterned with 300 nm metallic dots. 20 Since SL does not require any resist processing, it has the advantage of reducing the number of steps required for patterning and allowing the patterning of a broad range of substrates compared to resistbased techniques. For instance, SL has been used to deposit metals, 20 fullerenes, 21 organic conductive molecules, 22 complex oxides 23 and magnetic alloys 24 and to pattern different substrates such as self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), 25 organic layers, 26 polymer substrates, 27 CMOS devices, 28 cantilevers, and nonplanar substrates.…”

“…To accurately characterize the in-plane strain of the actuated devices, an array of 100 nm thick 4 μm diameter aluminum dots is deposited through a stencil mask on each actuator ( figure 8). The holes in the stencil are etched in a 500 nm thick silicon nitride membrane that enables depositing micrometer features using a thermal evaporator [43,44]. The stencil mask is carefully aligned with the device to have an array of dots on each actuator, as seen in figure 8(a).…”

“…However, conventional patterning processes based on photoresist methods are difficult to be applied to fragile structures, such as self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Direct resistless patterning would provide a major improvement, such as the recently demonstrated thermal evaporation of nanostructures through miniature shadow masks (microstencils) [1].…”
