Periodic nanohole arrays are formed on a Ge substrate by self‐assembly using focused ion beam sputtering at normal incidence with an energy of 5 keV. The figure shows an SEM image of a hexagonally ordered hole domain that has hexagonally ordered quantum dots—20 nm diameter and 3 nm height—around each hole The structured Ge has high surface area and a considerably blue‐shifted energy gap.
