Abstract

A method is provided for creating a patterned monolayer on a substrate. First, organic molecules are prepared that have self-assembling properties. These molecules are applied to an aligning substrate. Then, the aligning surface is applied to the substrate, then separated from the substrate, leaving ordered patterns of the organic molecules on the substrate.
