We present a method to selectively
(bio)functionalize nanoscale
features with the same materials chemistry. It was successfully combined
with nanosphere lithography to fabricate and functionalize solid-state
nanopores with PEG-brushes, supported lipid membranes, and functional
proteins over large areas. The method is inexpensive, can be performed
without specialized equipment, and can be applied to both topographic
and planar surface modification
