  • Methods of tailoring the deposition of metals using self-assembled monolayers
    Patent number: 10026887
    Abstract: In some aspects, the present disclosure provides methods of depositing a metal onto a nanomaterial which has been passivized with a self-assembled monolayer at a weakened point in the topography of the nanomaterial. In some embodiments, the weakened point is caused by the curvature of the topography. This method may be used to prepare electronic devices such as memory modules.
