Abstract:
A process for producing nanoscale features on a substrate, the process comprising the steps of:a) providing a first difunctional molecule and a substrate having a surface wherein the first difunctional molecule has a functional group capable of reacting with the surface of the substrate;b) applying the first difunctional molecule to the surface of the substrate and allowing the functional group to react with the surface of the substrate;c) providing a second difunctional molecule wherein the second difunctional molecule has a functional group capable of reacting with an unreacted functional group of the first difunctional molecule;d) selectively applying the second difunctional molecule on top of the first difunctional molecule using a nanoscale delivery device; ande) allowing the second difunctional molecule to react with the unreacted functional group of the first difunctional molecule to form a patterned layer on the surface of the substrate.
