Abstract: Methods of enhancing contrast ratio of conductive nanostructure-based transparent conductors are described. Contrast ratio is significantly improved by reduction of light scattering and reflectivity of the nanostructures through steps of plating the conductive nanostructures followed by etching or oxidizing the underlying conductive nanostructures.

Abstract: A method of forming an integrated circuit layer material is described, comprising depositing a layer of templates on a substrate, said template including a first binding site having an affinity for the substrate, a second binding site having an affinity for a target integrated circuit material and a protecting material coupled to the second binding site via a labile linkage to prevent the binding site from binding to the target integrated circuit material; exposing the template to an external stimulus to degrade the labile linkage; removing the protecting material; and binding the integrated circuit material to the second binding site.

Abstract: A formulation comprises quantum dots and a quenching-preventive agent in a carrier material. The quenching-preventive agent is a metal chelating agents, a corrosion inhibitor, or a combination thereof. The formulation can be applied to a metal substrate, without experiencing metal ion induced fluorescence quenching.

Abstract: Improved methods and articles providing conformal coatings for a variety of devices including electronic, semiconductor, and liquid crystal display devices. Peptide formulations which bind to nanoparticles and substrates, including substrates with trenches and vias, to provide conformal coverage as a seed layer. The seed layer can be further enhanced with use of metallic films deposited on the seed layer. Seed layers can be characterized by AFM measurements and improved seed layers provide for better enhancement layers including lower resistivity in the enhancement layer. Peptides can be identified by phage display.
