Micro-contact printing
- a master is used to make in PDMS material a stamp
- the stamp can be used to write several wafers, such as a mask
- light is not used, intead the stamp is introduced in ink
- as usual stamps, the stamp is pressed on a surface (gold) and the ink will remain on the surface in the higher regions (a pattern is made)
- The dried ink is then used as a mask for the golden surface, which will be removed in the unprotected regions by etching
- applications: may realise the connection between electronics and biology
