Abstract:
1. A method of applying a pattern of metal, metal oxide and/or semiconductor material on a substrate, comprising: a) providing a first substrate, b) creating a pattern of metal, metal oxide and/or semiconductor material on said first substrate, c) providing a second substrate and bringing it into conformal contact with said pattern of metal, metal oxide and/or semiconductor material on said first substrate, d) separating said second substrate from said first substrate, thus having said pattern of metal, metal oxide and/or semiconductor material adhere to said second substrate and being separated together with said second substrate from said first substrate, after said pattern of metal, metal oxide and/or semiconductor material has been created in b) on said first substrate, a transfermediating layer is applied to said pattern of metal, metal oxide and/or semiconductor material prior to c), which transfermediating layer serves the purpose of mediating adhesion between said pattern of metal, metal oxide and/or semiconductor material and said second substrate, and said transfermediating layer is made of a material comprising a compound having at least two termini, wherein one terminus is a metal binding, metal oxide binding or semiconductor binding group, such as thiol, and the other terminus provides controllable adhesion to said second substrate.
