Abstract:
1. A method comprising: A) providing a tool having a patterned-nanostructure surface having: B) replicating the tool patterned-nanostructure surface onto a substrate to form a substrate patterned-nanostructure surface having: C) disposing a metal layer on the substrate patterned-nanostructure surface to form a metallic patterned-nanostructure surface having: D) forming a self-assembled monolayer on the metallic patterned-nanostructure surface, including: E) after step D, without any intervening step, contacting the self-assembled monolayer on both the metallic nanostructured surface region and the adjacent metallic surface region to an electroless plating solution comprising a deposit metal; and F) depositing electrolessly the deposit metal from the electroless plating solution selectively on the metallic nanostructured surface region having the self-assembled monolayer formed thereon contacting the electroless plating solution, and not on the adjacent metallic surface region having the self-assembled monolayer formed thereon contacting the electroless plating solution.
