Abstract
Photocatalytic lithography is proved for the realization of micropatterned polymer brushes. Initiator-functionalized titanium dioxide or silicon surfaces are respectively exposed directly to near-UV light through a photomask (direct approach) or through a transparent photoactive TiO2 film (remote approach). Initiator patterns are then amplified as polymer brushes with SI-ATRP. Features down to 10 μm could be obtained using simple equipment. The process is intrinsically parallel, has high throughput and scalable to wafer size, making it powerful for microfabrication purposes.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
