A general method for the fabrication of stable polymer brushes of programmable three‐dimensional shapes and different chemical functions is presented. The carbon templating method allows the functionalization of a broad variety of substrates without the need of a specific surface chemistry. As an example, the AFM scan of complex polymer brush structures on a bare GaAs substrate is shown.
