In the past decades, self
, addressed here, considers the application of SAMs as ultrathinresists. Patterning techniques, such as scanning-probe techniques, e-beam lithography, micro-contact printing and photolithography have been employed along this path [6][7][8][9]. Furthermore, laser processing of SAMs has attracted significant
