摘要:
A substrate supporting film to be etched is held on a rotating stage. Ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 200 nm or shorter radiated from first lamps irradiates the film in air, thereby removing organic coatings from the film and making the surface of the film hydrophilic. A chemical solution applied to the hydrophilic film while rotating the substrate. Ultraviolet light having a wavelength longer than 200 nm is radiated from second lamps and onto the film through the chemical solution.

A method for making a relief printing plate, by using a lithographic printing plate to create ink-receptive areas on a receiver base. The relief printing plate has ink-receptive cured areas defining an image. The method comprises the steps of: a) imaging a lithographic printing plate precursor to produce a lithographic printing plate having ink-receptive image areas and ink-repellent non-image areas; b) applying a first curable composition to the lithographic printing plate, to form a coating of the first curable composition on ink-receptive image areas; c) contacting the coating to the receiver base to make an impression on the receiver base; and d) curing the impression on the receiver base to produce ink-receptive cured areas defining an image. In the practice of an embodiment of the invention, a modified rotary printing press may be employed to make a relief printing plate on a receiver base using a lithographic printing plate.

Multi-layer, positive working, thermally sensitive imageable elements, useful as lithographic printing plate precursors, are disclosed. The elements comprises a substrate, an underlayer over the substrate, and a top layer over the underlayer. The top layer comprises polymeric material, which is a solvent soluble novolac resin or a derivative thereof. The polymeric material is a (a) novolac that has a weight average molecular weight of at least 10,000, a derivative thereof functionalized with polar groups, or a derivative thereof functionalized with quadruple hydrogen bonding entities; (b) a solvent soluble m-cresol/p-cresol novolac resins that comprises at least 10 mol % p-cresol and has a weight average molecular weight of at least 8,000, a derivative thereof functionalized with polar groups, or a derivative thereof functionalized with quadruple hydrogen bonding entities; or (c) a mixture thereof. The imageable elements have increased scuff resistance and are thus less susceptible to damage during handling.
摘要:
Electrically (and, possibly, mechanically) active patterns are applied using a colloidal suspension of nanoparticles that exhibit a desired electrical characteristic. The nanoparticles are surrounded by an insulative shells that may be removed by therefrom by application of energy (e.g., in the form of electromagnetic radiation or heat). The nanoparticle suspension is applied to a surface, forming a layer that is substantially insulative owing to the nanoparticle shells. The applied suspension is exposed to energy to remove the capping groups and fuse the particles into cohesion. If the nanoparticle suspension was deposited as a uniform film, the energy is applied in a desired pattern so that unexposed areas remain insulative while exposed areas exhibit the electrical behavior associated with the nanoparticles. If the nanoparticle suspension was deposited in a desired pattern, it may be uniformly exposed to energy. Additional layers may be applied in the same manner, one over the other, to form a multilayer device.
摘要:
This method of Fresnel oscillations takes advantage of oscillation effects within Fresnel patterns to produce finer resolution than can be printed in the prior art. Selected patterns are printed by selecting the mask-wafer gap for a given wavelength, or range of wavelengths, and given mask feature size. Following the principles of the coherence and with an optimization of bandwidth, the method of Fresnel oscillations employs paradigms or simulations in mask shapes to print specified patterns. By these methods, exposure times and throughput are optimized, consistent with required resolution in printing. Mask-wafer gaps and clear mask feature sizes are kept large. With multiple exposures, fine oscillation patterns in two dimensions can be printed with demagnification factors down to 20X the size of clear mask features.

A near-field light exposure mask provided with a plurality of apertures each having a width small than the wavelength of light used for exposure. In the mask described above, among the plurality of apertures, apertures adjacent to each other are disposed at a necessary distance so that near-field light effused from one of the apertures adjacent to each other does not overlap that generated from the other aperture.
