| 1. A method of fabricating a thin layer element comprising:
forming an assembly comprising a first material layer and a pattern of a second material, the pattern having a thickness of
less than 15 nm, and wherein the pattern is supported by the first material layer; and
implanting a chemical species into at least a portion of the assembly to reduce the contact angle between the first material
layer and the pattern to stabilize the pattern on the first material layer.
