Metal‐coated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamps are treated as parallel microelectrodes to selectively induce thermochemical crosslinking of polymer thin films on Si substrates. Periodical polymer micro‐ and nanostructures with various size‐reduction effects can be achieved by changing the conditions during metal deposition or modifying the surface of the metal‐coated PDMS stamp.
