摘要:
There is disclosed a method of patterning an article (10) including a layer (12) of copper formed onto an insulating substrate (11) using a positive microcontact printing (MCP) process. In a preferred embodiment where the metal is copper (Cu) and the substrate is a silicon wafer, the method includes removing the native oxide presents on the Cu in a solution of HCl. Then, a stamp (13′) having a patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) body (14) is linked with a 0.2 mM solution of pentaerythritol-tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) (PTMP) in ethanol for 1 min, to form the inking layer (15′). The stamp is applied on the Cu layer to print a first self-assembled monolayer (SAM) (16′) according to a desired pattern. The article is dipped in a solution of ECT which is then adsorbed only in the non printed regions, forming a second SAM (18) in a configuration that is complementary to the desired pattern. Finally, the printed areas of the Cu layer are removed using a peroxodisulfate etch bath.

A method for processing a surface involves depositing at least one class of enzymes (2) onto the surface (1); introducing at least a reactant (3) into an environment of the surface (1), and causing interaction between the enzymes (2) and the reactant (3), thereby to cause processing of a region of the surface (1), the processed region of the surface (1) being defined with respect to a region thereof that is proximate (4) to where the enzymes (3) have been deposited.

摘要:
Methods for electroless deposition of conductive material on a substrate using in both cases a stamp having a patterned surface which is pressed onto the surface of a substrate for printing the substrate and providing a pattern of a catalyst on the substrate on which metal deposition occurs in the course of electroless deposition by immersing the printed substrate in a plating bath are provided. In one case, the stamp is pretreated to render the pattern of the stamp wettable with a catalytic ink which is transformed to the surface of the substrate. In the other case, a catalytic layer is provided on the surface of the substrate which is patterned by the stamp transferring a resist material onto the catalytic layer so that a subsequent etching process lays open the desired pattern of the catalytic layer for electroless deposition.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus for forming and/or enabling interconnection in a substrate. An example embodiment of a method comprises forming a via in the substrate. A preconditioning layer is deposited on the substrate. A catalyst layer is then bound to the preconditioning layer. A conductive material is deposited on the catalyst layer by electro-less deposition to fill the via with the conductive material. Deposition of the conductive material is selectively disabled from coating surfaces of the substrate outside the via. Advantageous alternatives are presented.
摘要:
In a transmitting arrangement a power amplifier is coupled to a radio-frequency antenna arrangement via a controllable matching apparatus. This allows direct impedance transformation of the output of the power amplifier to the input of the radio-frequency antenna arrangement. There is no need for transformation to the 50 ohm standard. The power amplifier, matching apparatus and a control circuit for controlling the impedance of the matching apparatus form a functional unit, which is advantageously in the form of a monolithically integrated structure in a semiconductor body. A receiving arrangement is produced in the same way, comprising an antenna, a filter device and a matching apparatus connected between them.
