Patent ID: 8053059

Claim:
A substrate for forming a pattern comprising: an inorganic layer having a modified surface, wherein the modified surface is formed by coating a surface of the inorganic layer with a bifunctional molecule comprising a functional group that has an affinity for a nanocrystal at one end of the molecule and a functional group that has an affinity for the surface of the inorganic layer at the other end of the molecule, where the functional group that has affinity for the inorganic layer is selected from the group consisting of acetyl, acetic acid, phosphine, phosphonic acid, alcohol, vinyl, amide, phenyl, amine, acrylic, silane, thiol and cyano and the functional group that has affinity for the surface of the nanocrystal is selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid, amine, phosphine, and phosphonic acid.
