Abstract

A method of contact printing on a device using a partially transparent mask (18) having first and second surfaces, comprises the steps of applying a layer of low surface energy polymeric material (22) to the first surface of the mask; placing the first surface (24) of the mask contiguous to the device (10), the layer of low surface energy polymeric material being substantially in contact with the device; and applying radiation (32) to the second surface of the mask for affecting a pattern in the device.
