Abstract

A component for use in a disc drive includes a component substrate having a substrate surface. A self-assembled image layer is formed over the substrate surface. The self-assembled image layer includes a developed region defining a feature with a developed width. Each component also includes a feature layer that is self-assembled over the image layer. The feature layer is joined by a self-assembly process to the developed region. The feature layer has a feature width that is limited to the developed width.
