Claim Text:
1. A method for fabricating crystalline surface structures on a template, the template having a first main planar surface and a second main planar surface opposing the first main surface, the method comprises: providing the template on a substrate such that the first main planar surface is completely exposed and the second main planar surface makes contact with the substrate such that the second main planar surface is completely supported by the substrate, providing the template positioned on the substrate into a reaction environment, wherein an element required for the formation of the crystalline surface structure is contained within the template, heating the template inside the reaction environment to increase mobility of the element within the template, and to increase a surface diffusion length of the element on a template-environment interface, homogenously impregnating the template with the element, and activating the template by altering conditions within the reaction environment, to make the element migrate towards the template-environment interface and to make the element organize on the surface of the template as a crystalline structure, wherein the crystalline structure is a monolayer crystalline surface (MCS) structure or a few-layered crystalline surface (FCS) structure, and wherein the element is selected from the group of carbon, nitrogen and boron.
