A colloidal crystal film–substrate system with ordered voids has been fabricated using a combination of microcontact printing, self‐organization of organic liquid on the patterned self‐assembled monolayers, and a vertical deposition technique. The Figure shows an SEM image of the bottom surface of a colloidal crystal film that had been peeled off the substrate after the solvent has evaporated.
