Abstract:
1. An array of polymers synthesized on a surface of a substrate, comprising: a solid substrate comprising a reactive group protected by an acid labile protective group; a coating on the solid substrate with a film, the film comprising an photo acid generator and an acid scavenger, wherein the photo acid generator in selected regions of the substrate is activated by selective application of light having a predetermined wavelength to provide an acid, wherein the reactive group having the protective group is contacted to the acid in the presence of the scavenger such that the protective group is removed to provide an exposed reactive group, wherein a step of baking or heating is not performed following activation of the photoacid generator, wherein the exposed reactive group is contacted with a monomer, wherein the monomer is coupled to the exposed reactive group, and wherein the steps of coating, activating, and contacting the exposed reactive group with a monomer are repeated to produce the array of polymers.
