The single domain Si(110)-162 surface has a unique 1-D reconstructed structure, which should be an ideal template for the low-dimensional nanostructures. At the low coverage region, preferential adsorption onto the upper rows of the substrate is found for C and CuPc molecules. The results suggest that the low dimensional nanostructure fabrication on this surface could be possible at the low coverage region if we can controllably utilize the preferential adsorption to the upper rows.
