Manipulations of atoms and molecules with the low temperature scanning tunneling microscope open new opportunities for creating nanodevices. The size of molecules and type of their interaction with the substrate play an important role in manipulation process. For PTCDA molecules chemisorbed on Ag(111) surface, we developed a protocol of controllable and reproducible manipulation which includes a creation of stable contact between a molecule and STM-tip, tearing it from the substrate and transporting to a chosen position, and finally locating it on the surface. The reproducibility of these stages is controlled by measuring the I(t) spectra. Using this protocol, we formed different types of molecular corrals and chains in order to modify the Ag(111) surface state. Performed experiments allow us to study substrate-molecule interaction in more details.
