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 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein releasing the thin film comprises one or more of:\n contacting the adhered thin film with a target substrate to adhere the thin film to the target substrate by substrate capillary action; the substrate capillary action being stronger than the capillary action of the capillary bridges acting to adhere the thin film to the wetted textured surface; heating one or more of the liquid and the thin film manipulator; applying a surfactant to the liquid; drying the liquid; evaporating the liquid; illuminating the liquid with ultra violet light; applying a fluid under pressure through the textured surface; and stretching the textured surface.
