Abstract:
A process for preparing a patterned molecular self-assembly, the process comprising the sequential steps of:a) providing a support having a surface;b) patterning the support by applying a resist to the support, masking the support, exposing the support to activate the resist, and removing the mask to yield a patterned support having an exposed surface and a surface covered with the resist, wherein a portion of the surface of the support is exposed, wherein an inert compound is applied to the exposed surface of the patterned support;c) selectively adsorbing a first compound on the exposed surface of the support, wherein the resist is removed before the first compound is selectively adsorbed on the support; andd) selectively adsorbing a second compound on the first compound to form a patterned molecular self-assembly.
