Direct-write thermocapillary dewetting of polymer thin films by a laser-induced thermal gradient. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A positive-tone 2D direct-write technique that can achieve sub-wavelength patterning by non-linear overlap effects in a conventional polymer system is described. The technique involves relatively inexpensive free-space optics, skips the usual development step, and promises the possibility of a lithographic method that is solvent-free.
