Abstract:
A thin film manipulation method comprising: wetting a textured surface of a thin film manipulator with a liquid, the textured surface comprising peaks separated by valleys, the liquid forming capillary bridges between the peaks of the textured surface; picking up a thin film by contacting the thin film with the wetted textured surface to adhere the thin film to the wetted textured surface by capillary action of the capillary bridges with the thin film; and releasing the adhered thin film from the thin film manipulator. Also disclosed is a thin film manipulator.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 7 , wherein:\n picking up the thin film comprises contacting the thin film with a high porosity belt layer of a layered porous belt, the layered porous belt comprising the high porosity belt layer overlaying a low porosity belt layer, the low porosity belt layer configured to provide a barrier to releasing fluid used to break down the capillary bridges; the high porosity belt layer configured not to provide a barrier to releasing fluid used to break down the capillary bridges; and wherein the method further comprises: separating the overlaying high porosity belt layer from the low porosity belt layer to allow releasing fluid to be passed through the high porosity belt layer to the adhered thin film to facilitate release of the adhered thin film from the high porosity belt layer.
