Abstract:
1. A method of patterning a conductor on a substrate, comprising: providing an inked elastomeric stamp inked with self-assembled monolayer-forming molecules and having a relief pattern with raised features, the relief pattern having a low density region with a fill factor between 0.5% and 20%, measuring at least 5 square millimeters comprising: the relief pattern further having a raised feature measuring at least 50 micrometers in width, wherein for a junction formed between the raised linear features and a larger raised feature, the raised linear feature width is widened by tapering before making contact to the larger raised feature; contacting the raised linear features of the inked elastomeric stamp to a metal-coated visible light transparent substrate; and etching the metal to form an electrically conductive micropattern corresponding to the raised features of the inked elastomeric stamp on the visible light transparent substrate.
