Abstract
A method of forming a patterned polymer layer on a substrate and a substrate having a polymer layer formed by the method. The method includes providing a substrate comprising a first surface having a first surface energy and a pattern located on the substrate forming a second surface having a second, lower surface energy than the first surface, and selectively depositing a polymeric layer onto the first surface using a monomer material in an initiated chemical vapor deposition process, wherein the initiated chemical vapor deposition process is operated under supersaturation conditions during the deposition process.
