Absorbing Films Deposited and Patterned with Soft Lithography

Materials can be prepared in a layer-by-layer fashion on a patterned first substrate and subsequently transferred to a second substrate. The transfer step can preserve the pattern of the first substrate, such that the second substrate will bear a pattern of the transferred material. The material can be an electrostatic multilayer including a light absorbing dye, such as a J-aggregating cyanine dye.
