Abstract
A metal nanostructure was fabricated on a Si(111) surface in ultrahigh vacu um. The stages in the fabrication were H passivation of the surface, Pb eva poration, depassivation of selected areas with the tip of a scanning tunnel ing: microscope, and heating. Using this procedure, a nanowire and two cont act pads to connect it to external probes were fabricated. At each stage of the process, the surface was imaged with scanning tunneling microscopy.
