Method of applying an elongated molecule to a surface
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of applying an elongated molecule to a surface, comprising:
- applying a solution containing the elongated molecule to a first substrate;
applying a cover surface to the deposition fluid; and
controllably flowing a deposition fluid over the first substrate in a manner that promotes stretching of the elongated molecule along the first substrate, wherein controllably flowing comprises sliding the cover surface relative to the first substrate to induce fluid flow in the deposition fluid.

13. A method of applying an elongated molecule to a surface, comprising:
-
applying a solution containing the elongated molecule to a first substrate;
controllably flowing a deposition fluid over the first substrate in a manner that promotes stretching of the elongated molecule along the first substrate; and
transferring the stretched elongated molecule to a second substrate, wherein controllably flowing the deposition fluid comprises flowing the deposition fluid in a configuration in which a surface of the deposition fluid maintains a substantially fixed distance from the first substrate. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
