Abstract

A method of producing a patterned inorganic thin film element includes providing a substrate having a patterned thin layer of polymeric inhibitor on the surface. The substrate and the patterned thin layer of polymeric inhibitor are exposed to a highly reactive oxygen process. An inorganic thin film layer is deposited on the substrate in areas without inhibitor using an atomic layer deposition process.
