“…Different SAM molecules have been used, depending on the metal. For example, alkanethiols have been used for gold (Delamarche, 1996), silver (Fenter, 1991), copper (Schlenoff, 1995), and palladium (Lee, 1991); alkanephosphonic acids for aluminum (Goetting, 1999); alkylisonitriles for platinum (Hickman, 1992); carboxylic acids for metal oxides (Tao, 1993); and alkanesulfinates (Chadwick, 1993) and alkylphosphines (Uvdal, 1995) for gold patterning. Typically, the inked polymer stamp is in contact with the metal film for only a short time because the SAM is formed quickly upon contact (Larsen, 1997).…”
