This could probably be implemented in Silicon using an scanning tunneling microscope to pop off Hydrogen atoms from an H-terminated Silicon surface ([[Patterned Atomic Layer Epitaxy]]), then filling the chamber with something like Fluorine radicals, or some other molecule that will deposit a Fluorine or Chlorine atom on the depassivated spots. Hydrogen is 0, the other element is 1. Then it could be read it with an atomic force microscope, as demonstrated by Oscar Custance and company in [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v446/n7131/edsumm/e070301-01.html "Chemical identification of individual surface atoms by atomic force microscopy"] Nature, March 2007.

A particularly important problem, one that would limit the mass-deployment of such technology, is that H-terminated Silicon isn't stable when exposed to air, since the surface Hydrogen atoms are motile at room temperature.
