Edge transfer lithography (ETL) uses stamp edges for submicrometer patterning. New stamp designs enable alkanethiol inks for high-resolution etch resists in gold, combining precision with microcontact printing simplicity.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Edge lithographic patterning relies on template feature edges for submicrometer structure replication.
  • Edge transfer lithography (ETL) enables localized surface modification via self-assembled monolayers on metal substrates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe novel stamp designs for alkanethiol ink utilization in ETL.
  • To demonstrate the use of these inks as etch resists for submicrometer structure fabrication in gold.

Main Methods:

  • Development of anisotropically modified stamps for ETL.
  • Selective deposition of self-assembled monolayers along feature edges.
  • Utilizing alkanethiol inks as etch resists for gold patterning.
