Parallel nanometer molecular lithography has recently been demonstrated to be a parallel fabrication process for structures with features defined by single molecules [1]. In this process two dimensional (2d) monolayer protein crystals are used as patterning elements in the parallel fabrication of structures on the 10nm length scale (nanostructures). The parallelism of this technique is in contrast to such serial fabrication methods as x-ray and electron-beam lithography.
