Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a silicone elastomer stamp with a hydrophilic surface. SOLUTION: The method for fabricating silicone elastomer stamps with hydrophilic surfaces is provided. The concept of polymer grafting is used to produce the stamps. The stamps thus produced have the great advantage that grafting of a thin hydrophilic polymer on a hydrophobic PDMS surface can render PDMS stamps permanently hydrophilic. With such stamps, it becomes possible to print aqueous or highly polar inks reproducibly over days and weeks.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a deposition method for a non-volatile resistance switching memory. SOLUTION: The method for depositing a switching material can be switched between persistent conductive states. The microelectronic device is a non-volatile resistance switching memory comprising the switching material for storing digital information. The method comprises a step of depositing the switching material by a standard CMOS deposition technique at a temperature lower than 400°C. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
