Abstract

A key issue in nanomanufacturing is control of the adhesion properties of surfaces for transfer and patterning applications. Alkanethiol and silane monolayers adsorbed on gold and silicon oxide surfaces have been used to tailor the adhesion properties of surfaces for the subsequent deposition and patterning of oligomers, polymers and biomaterials, as demonstrated by atomic force microscope force-distance studies. It is shown that modified surfaces can be used to pattern materials with nanoscale resolution. UV light has also been used to alter the hydrophilicity of a TiO2(110) surface, and irradiation through a photomask makes possible the selective deposition of hydrophilic materials onto irradiated regions of the surface. The implications of this work for nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing will be discussed.
