Abstract:
A photo-patterned fluorocarbon monolayer directly grafted to Si surface atoms provides anti-wetting performance at controlled locations, wherein the Si surface oxide is etched and reacted with fluorocarbon chains with a terminal C—C double bond, resulting in Si—C surface. As the direct Si—C linkages are chemically robust, and much more resistant to decomposition than Si—O—C bonds, the resulting surface does not suffer from the shortcomings of current MEMS dispensers.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for coating a silicon substrate on a micraelectromechanical system fluid dispenser including one or more nozzles, the method comprising:\n removing an oxide layer from a surface of the silicon substrate; and treating a portion of the surface of the silicon substrate with radiation to react the portion of the surface of the silicon substrate with a compound comprising a fluorinated alkyl chain having a terminal alkene to form a silicon-carbon bond, wherein an area of the surface of the silicon substrate around the one or more nozzles is not treated with the radiation.
