Patent ID: 8309376

Claim:
A process for forming a contained second layer over a first layer, said process comprising: forming the first layer having a first surface energy; treating the first layer with a photocurable surface-active composition comprising a material selected from the group consisting of a fluorinated ester of an α,β-unsaturated polyacid, a fluorinated imide of an α,β-unsaturated polyacid, and combinations thereof; exposing the photocurable surface-active composition patternwise with radiation resulting in exposed areas and unexposed areas; developing the photocurable surface-active composition to remove the photocurable surface-active composition from the unexposed areas resulting in a first layer having untreated portions in the unexposed areas and treated portions in the exposed areas, wherein the treated portions have a second surface energy that is lower than the first surface energy; and forming the second layer on the untreated portions of the first layer.
