Polystyrene microspheres with 10, 2, 1 and 0.56 micron sizes were used to prepare monolayer as patterning for sputtering deposition. Gold, silver and platinum metal sources were used as sputtering deposition source. Two dimensional micro-honeycomb and nanoring metallic arrays were fabricated on glass and silicon substrate. No ring structures were obtained for platinum and silver deposition. Transition from honeycomb to ring structure was found for deposition gold. For 10 micron size microspheres, honeycomb structures were dominant and no ring structure was found. For 2 micron size microspheres, honeycomb and ring structures were found to co-exit. For size smaller 1 micron, ring structures were dominant. Surface corrugation was achieved by using these structures. Laser diffractions were studied for these structures.
