A new soft‐lithography approach for direct silane nanopatterning, known as gas‐transfer lithography, is presented and tested. Chemically active two‐dimensional replicas of carbon nanotubes are attained (see image). Amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy reveals silane patterns with distinctive dimensions and chemical composition.
