Single stamp printing method creates multiple patterns using programmable surface energy
Mar 07, 2025 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Advanced electronics manufacturing demands precise control over multiple layers of functional materials. Each layer - whether conducting electricity, emitting light, or processing signals - requires its own distinct pattern. This currently means using a separate stamp for each pattern, creating an intricate and error-prone process...
