English We present a method to selectively (bio)functionalize nanoscale features with the same materials chemistry. It was successfully combined with nanosphere lithography to fabricate and functionalize solid-state nanopores with PEG-brushes, supported lipid membranes, and functional proteins over large areas. The method is inexpensive, can be performed without specialized equipment, and can be applied to both topographic and planar surface modification.
