摘要 |
The present invention provides a method for depositing a ceramic film (such as a semiconductor film) on a substrate (template), under aqueous based conditions and the product formed by the method. The method involves templating an amorphous CdS film, or other inorganic film, onto a substrate, such as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) patterned by soft lithography. The polymeric process-directing agent induces an amorphous phase with fluidic properties that can coalesce into a smooth and continuous film, such that patterning of the amorphous precursor provides a way to regulate the location and morphology of thin films. |
