Additive, Nanoscale Patterning of Metal Films With a Stamp and a Surface Chemistry Mediated Transfer Process: Applications in Plastic Electronics
15 July 2002
We describe a method for contact printing metal patterns with nanometer features over large areas. This nanotransfer printing (nTP) technique relies on tailored surface chemistries for transferring metal films from the raised regions of a stamp to a substrate when these two elements are brought into intimate physical contact. The printing is purely additive, fast (
