Abstract:
1. A method of forming a patterned thin film comprising: depositing a thin film material on a surface of a substrate having thereon a patterned underlayer of a self-assembled monolayer; wherein said self-assembled monolayer is prepared by a process comprising the steps of: providing a stamp having a surface; coating said surface of said stamp with an organic molecular species to produce a coated surface, said organic molecular species having a head functional group capable of interacting with said surface of said substrate, and a tail group for chemical differentiation of said patterned and unpatterned regions of said coated surface; placing said coated surface in contact with said substrate for a length of time sufficient to transfer said self-assembled monolayer of said organic molecular species from said stamp to said substrate; and removing said stamp; and wherein said organic molecular species comprises (tridecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrooctyl)trichlorosilane.
