Abstract

A non-lithographic process for producing nanoscale features on a substrate is presented. The process involves applying to and reacting a first difunctional molecule with the surface of a substrate. A second difunctional molecule is applied and reacted with unreacted functional groups from the first difunctional molecule to form a patterned layer on the surface of a substrate. Selective application of the difunctional molecules is accomplished by using a nanoscale delivery device.
