Direct-Write Thermocapillary Dewetting of Polymer Thin Films by a Laser-Induced Thermal Gradient

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 litho...
