“…In this particular case, the selective formation of nanoPS allows the development of a wide variety of photonic devices including waveguides and photonic crystals [16,17]. In addition, due to the biocompatibility of Si and nanoPS, these patterns have been also used for the fabrication of tailored platforms for cell adhesion [18,19]. However, none of these methods have the capability to offer flexibility in the pattern design in a timeefficient process, over large areas, and in a single-step process.…”
