Methods and systems for fabricating electronic and/or microfluidic structures on elastomeric substrates

摘要

The present invention provides methods and systems for fabricating electronic and/or microfluidic structures on elastomeric substrates. In one method, a protective structure is positioned onto a portion of a surface of the hydrophobic substrate. An unprotected portion of the surface is activated to become hydrophilic, wherein the protected portion of the surface of the substrate remains hydrophobic. The protective structure is removed from the surface of the substrate and material is deposited on the hydrophobic portion to form a structure on the substrate.
