Abstract

A method for producing at least one pad assembly (32, 50) on a support (19, 43) for use in a method for self-assembling at least one element (10) on the support (19, 43), comprises fanning, on the support (19, 43), a layer (28, 48) of at least one fluorinated material around the location (30, 44) of the pad assembly (32, 50), the layer (28, 48) having a thickness greater than 10 nm. The layer (28, 48) and the location (30, 44) are exposed to an ultraviolet treatment in the presence of ozone to form the pad assembly (32, 50) at said location (30, 44), wherein a drop of liquid (16) having a static contact angle on the pad assembly (32, 50) less than or equal to 15°, after the exposure to the ultraviolet treatment, has a static contact angle on the layer (28, 48) greater than or equal to 100°.
