Abstract
The molecular ruler method allows the precise control of the gap between a parent gold structure and a deposited daughter structure using a conveniently grown self-assembled molecular multilayer as a lithographic mask. However, we cannot choose a position where the gap should be placed, since the ruler attaches to all exposed gold surfaces. In this work, a convenient method of selecting the position of nanogaps by further patternine the molecular multilayer usine low-energy electron beam irradiation and piranha etchant is described.
