1. A method comprising:
- coating at least a portion of a support with a gel material, the support comprising a planar surface interrupted by a plurality of concave features bordered by one or more interstitial regions on the planar surface, wherein the portion comprises at least some of the concave features and at least some of the interstitial regions; and
polishing the gel material from the at least some of the interstitial regions while maintaining the gel material in the at least some of the concave features, including on bottom surfaces of the at least some of the concave features;
wherein the gel material comprises poly(N-(5-azidoacetamidylpentyl)acrylamide-co-acrylamide) that non-covalently associates with the at least some of the concave features.

Abstract
Provided is an array including a solid support having a surface, the surface having a plurality of wells, the wells containing a gel material, the wells being separated from each other by interstitial regions on the surface, the interstitial regions segregating the gel material in each of the wells from the gel material in other wells of the plurality; and a library of target nucleic acids in the gel material, wherein the gel material in each of the wells comprises a single species of the target nucleic acids of the library. Methods for making and using the array are also provided.
