Abstract: A process for mask-free localized grafting of organic molecules capable of being electrically activated, onto a composite surface comprising conductive and/or semiconductive portions, by placing said organic molecules in contact with said composite surface, in which said grafting is performed electrochemically in a single step on chosen, defined areas of said conductive and/or semiconductive portions, said areas being brought to a potential higher than or equal to a threshold electrical potential determined relative to a reference electrode, said threshold electrical potential being the potential above which grafting of said organic molecules takes place.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for selectively coating certain areas of a composite surface with a conductive film, to a process for fabricating interconnects in microelectronics, and to processes and methods for fabricating integrated circuits, and more particularly to the formation of networks of metal interconnects, and also to processes and methods for fabricating microsystems and connectors.

Abstract: The invention relates to the deposition or attachment of materials to surfaces. It relates to a process for coating a surface with a first material and a second material, comprising the following steps: placing the first material on the said surface, inserting into the first material placed on the said surface precursor molecules of the second material, converting the said precursor molecules of the second material inserted into the first material into the said second material such that this second material becomes formed on the said surface to be coated and within the said first material placed on the said surface. The object of the process of the invention is to allow the deposition of materials of any type onto surfaces of any type.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for encapsulating biocompatible polymers. The method comprises using a solid support comprising at least one electrically conducting and/or semiconducting region containing a reducible oxide on its surface, wherein at least one zone of this surface is functionalized with an electrografted organic film obtained from electroactive organic precursors each comprising at least one functional group of interest, and wherein the number of functional groups of interest accessible for the formation of a covalent, ionic or hydrogen bond with a complementary group within said film represents at least 90% of the total number of functional organic groups of interest, and wherein the density of the accessible functional groups of interest is between 104/?m2 and 1010/?m2. The method further comprises attaching molecules of interest or objects bearing a complementary function to the solid support.
