The principle strategies for the fabrication process include both “top-down” lithographic methods and “bottom-up” molecular self-assembly to control the spatial arrangement of organic-inorganic hybridized components. This combination process of self-assembly to build up the desired nanostructures with conventional photolithography involves a variety of materials ranging from small molecules to polymeric materials, to carbon nanomaterials, to micro/nanostructures of single-crystal inorganics.

Also, the unconventional lithographic methods as following steps can be implemented as a sequential guide for the various types of nanomaterials generated by chemical synthesis or reaction-diffuse process.
