https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocrystalline_silicon has 0.5nm for the lattice spacing, distance between Si atoms ranges somewhere between 0.3nm and 0.5nm, I guess. Even if you go to graphene instead of Si wafers, I don’t think you’ll get more than three atoms within 1.5nm, as graphene is not a cubical lattice.
