Description
Summary:<p>Abstract</p> <p>Self-similar patterns are frequently observed in Nature. Their reproduction is possible on a length scale 10<sup>2</sup>&#8211;10<sup>5</sup> nm with lithographic methods, but seems impossible on the nanometer length scale. It is shown that this goal may be achieved via a multiplicative variant of the multi-spacer patterning technology, in this way permitting the controlled preparation of fractal surfaces.</p>
