STRUCTURES HAVING AN ADJUSTED MECHANICAL PROPERTY

摘要

In various embodiments, the properties of a cross-linkable polymer can be changed by modifying the degree of cross-linking. The degree of cross-linking can be modified on a localized basis using lithographic patterns in which the cross-linkable polymer can be selectively and controllably subjected to charged particles or electromagnetic radiation. The modification of the degree of cross-linking can be applied to substrates having surfaces with varying geometric forms.
