Method for depositing a patterned layer of material over a substrate

摘要

This application relates to a method of depositing a patterned layer of material, such as organic material, over a substrate or organizing materials over a substrate. The method involves using a stamp having at least one conductive pathway and an insulating layer to transfer material from a solution to a substrate in a specified pattern. The stamp may be used multiple times to transfer a similar pattern of organic material to multiple substrates or to different portions of the same substrate. The transferred material may then be preferably used as a photolithographic mask for nano-patterning the substrate. This application also relates to a stamp that may be used in depositing a patterned layer of material onto a substrate, a method of forming such a stamp, and a method of depositing a layer of oriented molecules over a substrate.
