Abstract:
A method of assembling a structure on a substrate, said method comprising:exposing said substrate to a surface treatment fluid to create a surface on said substrate which has a selected one of a hydrophobic or a hydrophilic nature; dispensing a slurry over said substrate, said slurry comprising a fluid and a plurality of elements each having a functional component and each designed to be received by a recessed receptor region on said substrate, wherein said dispensing occurs after said exposing, and wherein said fluid is said selected one of a hydrophilic or a hydrophobic nature; exposing said plurality of elements to another surface treatment fluid to create surfaces on said elements which have said selected one of a hydrophilic or a hydrophobic nature, wherein said exposing said plurality of elements occurs before said dispensing, and wherein said another surface treatment fluid comprises an oxidizing solution; reacting a layer having a functional group onto surfaces of said plurality of elements, and oxidizing said functional group, wherein said oxidizing said functional group is performed in said another surface treatment fluid; and wherein said functional group is an alkene group and said layer having said functional group is created by reacting octenyltrimethoxysilane onto said surfaces of said plurality of elements.
