Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and apparatus for inkjet printing self-assembled monolayer (SAM) structures on substrates. In one embodiment, which can be combined with other embodiments, one or more SAM layers are printed on a substrate surface of a substrate in a localized manner such that a portion of the substrate surface is left exposed to a processing region of the inkjet chamber. The printing includes spraying one or more subsections of the substrate surface with an ink, the ink having a SAM composition. The SAM composition includes an active component, and a hydrophobic tail.
