    Abstract: This application relates to a method of depositing a patterned layer of material, such as organic material, over a substrate or organizing materials over a substrate. The method involves using a stamp having at least one conductive pathway and an insulating layer to transfer material from a solution to a substrate in a specified pattern. The stamp may be used multiple times to transfer a similar pattern of organic material to multiple substrates or to different portions of the same substrate. The transferred material may then be preferably used as a photolithographic mask for nano-patterning the substrate. This application also relates to a stamp that may be used in depositing a patterned layer of material onto a substrate, a method of forming such a stamp, and a method of depositing a layer of oriented molecules over a substrate.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing a patterned surface wherein predetermined regions of the surface are masked with a self-assembled monolayer (“SAM”) covalently bound to a brush polymer overlayer. The remainder of the substrate surface will generally be functionalized with a second self-assembled monolayer. Preferably, the method involves a microcontact printing technique, wherein a molecular moiety capable of spontaneously forming an SAM upon transfer to a surface is “stamped” onto a substrate surface, followed by growth (or covalent attachment) of a polymer on exposed functional groups within the SAM molecules. Coverage of surface regions with both an SAM and a polymer overlayer provides a number of advantages, particularly with regard to surface masking during etching and the like. The method is useful in the manufacture of microelectronic circuitry, biosensors, high-density assay plates, and the like.

    Abstract: A system for selective chemical vapor deposition of polymers onto a substrate. A substrate is provided which comprises a plurality of surface regions, wherein the surface of at least one region provides a more favorable nucleation site for at least one of a polymer or polymer precursor than at least one other region. This may be an intrinsic characteristic of the substrate or may be accomplished through surface treatment of a substrate. The substrate is subjected to chemical vapor deposition of a reactive monomer, producing a polymer coating which is substantially thicker in the regions of favorable nucleation than in the regions of unfavorable nucleation.

    Abstract: An elastomeric stamp has a bulk surface from which protruding features extend. A barrier layer covers the bulk surface and the protruding features. After applying an ink solution to the elastomeric stamp and drying the elastomeric stamp, the elastomeric stamp is brought into contact with a surface of a first substrate. The surface of the first substrate has a high affinity with the ink molecules, which is utilized to effectively remove the ink molecules from the contact surfaces of the protruding features. Subsequently, the elastomeric stamp is brought into contact with the surface of a second substrate. Ink molecules are transferred from the edges of the protruding features to the surface of a second substrate, thus forming an ink pattern in the form of a self assembled monolayer on this surface.
