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 14):
A thin film manipulator comprising:\n a textured surface comprising peaks separated by valleys which is wetted with a liquid, the liquid forming capillary bridges between the peaks of the textured surface; the wetted textured surface configured to pick 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 release the adhered thin film from the thin film manipulator.
