Unconventional methods and unconventional materials for microfabrication

This talk will outline the rapid progress in soft lithography-microcontact printing, micromolding in capillaries, and transfer molding of organic polymers. These new techniques cover only a part of the range of problems in the fabrication, testing and production of microelectronic systems, but they have an immediate, broad application in a number of other areas requiring small systems from homogeneous self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to transistors, and from molecular self-assembly to the self-assembly of macro-scale objects
