Abstract:
1. A method for making a device or device component, said method comprising the steps of: providing a sacrificial layer on at least a portion of a substrate surface, said sacrificial layer having a receiving surface; patterning said sacrificial layer to generate a pattern of exposed substrate surface; depositing a functional layer on at least a portion of said sacrificial layer receiving surface and exposed substrate surface pattern, thereby generating a plurality of functional layer anchors corresponding to said pattern of exposed substrate; releasing at least a portion of said functional layer, wherein the plurality of functional layer anchors remain at least partially anchored to said substrate and at least a portion of said functional layer not anchored to said substrate is released, thereby generating a plurality of transferable structures; and printing said plurality of transferable structures onto a device substrate or device component supported by a device substrate; wherein said functional layer is part of a multilayer structure, and the multilayer structure comprises a plurality of functional layers and adjacent functional layers are separated by a sacrificial layer.
