Patterned Si ALEPatterned Si ALE
STM tip removes H atoms from the Si surface
A precursor gas is used to dose the surface. Protected Si atoms are deposited only where H has been removed.
Completed deposition is verified and then the deprotection/patterning is repeated.

Key Advantages of Diamondoid Key Advantages of Diamondoid MechanosynthesisMechanosynthesis
• Rigid, dependably well-characterized nanomachinery would be good to have
• Deterministic processes are better than thermodynamically-driven ones (and have much better error detection and correction)
• Diamondoid materials are the highest performing method (and have the highest payoff)
• Experimental work necessary
