Patent ID: 8057984

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a structure comprising: providing a substrate containing an oxide surface; applying a monolayer of a photosensitive material to said oxide surface, wherein said photosensitive material includes: a first end group that forms covalent bonds with said oxide surface; a photosensitive group that dissociates upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation linked to said first end group; and a second end group having hydrophobicity and linked to said photosensitive group, and wherein said photosensitive material is selected from a first compound and a second compound, wherein said first compound has the structural formula: and wherein said second compound has the structural formula: wherein R is one of hydrogen, fully or partially fluorinated alkyl, fully or partially fluorinated alkoxy, or fully or partially fluorinated alkylthio, and wherein a total number of carbon atoms in said alkyl, alkoxy, or said alkylthio is from 1 to 20; and lithographically exposing a region of said monolayer, wherein said second group dissociates from said photosensitive group in said lithographically exposed region upon exposure to an ultraviolet radiation and said photosensitive group forms a third end group having hydrophilicity in said lithographically exposed region.
