A protective film is applied onto a nanostructural feature supported on a sacrificial layer by energy beam assisted deposit of material from a vapor through which the beam passes. A wet etchant is applied to etch away the sacrificial layer beneath the nanostructural feature to leave it suspended as a cantilever or bridge. The film protects the structural feature from damage during etching, and may be removed after the wet etching process is completed.
