Yes, that would be a membrane. There a number of membranes with larger pores that are fabricated like above, but out of polycarbonate (track etch membranes).

Some people have also experimented with single and double layers of graphene with a few very small pores. Because they are so thin, you don't need as much porosity for high transport rates.

You still have fouling issues, though.
