Shear Patterning of Microdominos: A New Class of Procedures for Making Micro‐ and Nanostructures

A simple technique for fabricating complex, repetitive 3D microstructures, and the application of this procedure to the generation of arrays of nanoscale (in-plane) features is described. This technique, which involves the use of shearing forces, is capable of fabricating regular, 3D arrays of microstructures that are difficult or impossible to obtain by other methods (see picture).
